Who We Are

Lake Merritt United Methodist Church is an inclusive Christian community feeding the spiritual and physical hunger of Oakland:

We strive to:

  • live and love like Jesus,
  • foster authentic connection and unconditional belonging, and
  • make a difference for the most vulnerable among us.

All are welcome as we seek to build a multi-racial, multi-ethnic and multi-cultural community. We welcome and affirm the full participation of the LGBTQIA community in the life of the congregation.
