Grand Lake Lutheran Church - (CA)

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.

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!

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!

Christine Sunderland Worshiping God in the beauty of holiness, a Bible-based, sacramental, traditional liturgy with beautiful music and a caring, welcoming, family atmosphere.

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.

Brando Menjivar Such a welcoming, beautiful, and diverse community of people! The music is great, the energy is exciting, and free coffee and donuts is always a plus. Storyline is also a great place to bring your kids! My kids love being a part of StoryKids!

Oakland East (East Oakland 106) Came here for the seven last words my church Fame and Beebe Memorial have been doing this for the past 15 years

Macadamian SuperBaller I really like the ambiance. It would be good for service to be longer. Im still adjusting to being able to eat something and drink coffee during service even though Im sure that Jesus is probably cool with it.

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.

Joe Turner Warm and welcoming. The pastor is a wise and wonderful person. Thanks for hosting the event. ( Marianne Williamson spoke here as a source of love for the lives of children. Of course. ) Blessings on them their Church and their flock.
