West Oakland church

Churches come in all sizes, types, and locations in Oakland.  This one in West Oakland looks like it used to be an apartment building.  I'm fascinated by the names they select.  Their commitment is heartfelt and they are often an anchor for those souls who are most adrift.

  2. Oakland seems to abound in small churches like this. Clearly a need is being met.

  3. Love this. The word "metropolitan" seems a little out of context.

  4. How about the co-pastor's name: Cinderella Green. That is a first for me.
