First Congregational Church of Oakland - Oakland (CA)

R Onilozay RECOVERY MEETING FOR EMOTIONS... I attend (only) Recovery International meetings here (Mondays @ 12:30) which are wonderful. For those of us who need a community and help with our emotions of anxiety and / or anger. I learn so much that actually works and Ive made friends who understand, really understand. The format is a bit different from 12-step if youre used to that, so it took a few meeting s to get the flow so to speak. .. but it is an amazing tool Ive just added to my recovery. Meetings in the east bay are Monday here, Wed in Oakland also, Sat at Kaiser bldg off Howe & MacArthur @ 1:30. Please come the group is small. Look for the side red door. (I have no religious affiliation with the church).

Brenda Great preaching from the Bible every Sunday! Go there at 10:45am. Nice members.

Beatrice Jacobs I love the welcome home feeling you receive at this church. The teaching and preaching are all Bible-based. I can honestly say you will have your spiritual and physical needs met.

Rebecca Collins-Puerto Family friendly without fashion control. You are welcomed at the door and treated like Jesus time on earth...enter, rejoice and be glad.

Franceyez Jackson III Such a big help to our community. Whether feeding the needy or housing an event this historic site brings memories of when I was down on my luck in 1993 and they had a fried chicken luncheon. I was 7 years old.

Wondwossen Tadesse Unadulterated pure Word of God preaching, consistent!

karen warren Enjoy the service everyone really friendly

Val Johns It a sacred place. Even though you can’t get inside the Temple, just walking on that ground people of any faith or not faith at all will feel peace. Beautiful scene and gardens. If you need a safe and peaceful place to meditate, pray, find answers in your head and heart. I do recommend you to visit it.

Daniel Smith, Jr. I love this church

Michelle Corsilles Great music, lovely folks, good preaching, very real life. Excellent childrens programming. A nice find for working with and worshipping with people who care about the community they live in. The lakeshore location and beautiful sanctuary with historic and gorgeous mosaic tryptich is a real bonus.
