Oakland is a community of faith made up of friendly people who have come from all walks of life and many belief systems. Our common bond is that we all now share a relationship with God through the unique work of Jesus Christ. In short, we are Christians. God has shown His love to us in such an incredible way that we want nothing more than for you to share the feeling of forgiveness and inner healing that we have felt. Emptiness has been replaced with joy. We are growing in our personal and spiritual lives as the result of our changed lives and helping others to do the same.
