East Bay Church of Religious Science - Oakland (CA)

Mary Vertulfo Plymouth is a radically accepting and loving community of people, with some of the best music in Oakland. I walked in and was immediately made welcome. I have found life-long friends, music, and endless opportunities there to make real and lasting change to the greater Oakland community through their partnerships and programming. I highly recommend going to their many musical events (Monday Night Jazz, Free First Fridays… Mardi Gras, Soulful Christmas… I could go on!!) Even if you’re not looking for a spiritual home, the incredible musical talent that plays at Plymouth Church is unmatched and you will have a wonderful time here.

Diana D I have not personally attended this church, but have met a lot of people from here who really LOVE it. I really appreciate how they serve local Oakland ministries like Cityteam Oakland (which is tackling the homelessness crisis) & Harbor House (which gives education and care to immigrants). Looking forward to visiting this church myself next month!

Neal Donovan Beautiful building right near the lake. Ive seen a handful of shows here and love the sanctuary. Gorgeous stained glass, great acoustic, impressive organ. Staff are super welcoming.

Wondwossen Tadesse Unadulterated pure Word of God preaching, consistent!

Natalie Lowe We were looking for a church that was grounded in biblical principals, personable, warm, had opportunities to help us grow and we found that in Vive Oakland. The campus pastors Pastor Bobby and Abi are the most personable, loving, and intentional pastors I have met since going to church all my life. They truly care about their members and are kind, biblically sound, and relatable good people. Come check it out, it is a great place to encounter real people seeking after God and His presence is alive in this church.

Yusuf Abdul-Hakim My church and church family are totally awesome. Dr. Hawkins and his wife are the real deal!

Mauricio Padilla We were there for my nieces Quinceńera and the church looked exactly like the same it did 20 years ago.

Abolaji Adesoji Oaklife was the church I never knew I needed. It is the most inclusive representation of the christian faith I have ever encountered or heard of. Oaklife has positively improved my notion of faith, love and community. I greatly recommend it!
