In support of community efforts to reduce the spread of Coronavirus, Sunday Worship is being held by live-stream only until further notice. Please also consider volunteering in our community food programs. These essential services are exempt from the current Shelter-in-Place Order.

Lake Merritt United Methodist Church is an open and welcoming Christian congregation serving God in downtown Oakland. We seek to build a multi-racial, multi-ethnic and multi-cultural community. We welcome and affirm full participation of the LGBTQIA community in the life of the congregation. We work to promote inclusiveness of all people in the United Methodist Church as a whole. All are welcome!

View an exhibit of art by the congregation through May in the Edward Room across from the sanctuary.  A description of the pieces is here.
