Lake Merritt United Methodist Church - Oakland (CA)

Will L The experience was not bad. The community was very welcoming and nice. I would come back again.

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.

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

Ton T I can’t tell if this building is still being used as a Church but it’s Spanish influenced architecture facade and roof appears to be in need of repairs. I hope it’s renovated as it’s quite an appealing building.

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.

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).

Linda Jordan-Clark This is my place of worship Methodist. I love it. They give out food, produce sometimes chicken or fish which is frozen every Wednesday from 10 am until 12 and the last Friday of every month they give out meats.

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!
