Our Story

Who We Are

Our Values

Belong Before You Believe

You don’t have to believe before you belong. We’re a church where people can come as they are, bring their questions, and still find family. Faith grows in proximity, not perfection. We believe that when people experience love up close, belief follows naturally.

Big Faith

We don’t play it safe. We pray bold prayers, take big risks, and trust God for impossible outcomes. Big faith looks like obedience when the outcome is uncertain. Around here, we don’t shrink back — we step out, believing God can do far more than we can imagine.

Honor Everyone

Every person carries the image of God. Honor is not about agreeing; it’s about acknowledging divine worth. From the CEO to the one sleeping on the corner, we treat people with dignity. Honor sets the culture for heaven to touch earth.

Laugh Daily

Joy is strength — and laughter keeps our hearts healthy. We believe the Church should be fun, full of life, and refreshingly human. We take Jesus seriously, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. Joy keeps our perspective anchored in grace.

Bring Your Best

Excellence is our worship. We prepare, create, and serve with intentionality because God deserves our best. It’s not about perfection — it’s about passion. Every detail preaches something about the One we serve.

Live Generously

We live open-handed because we serve an open-hearted God. Generosity is more than giving money; it’s giving time, attention, and grace. We give freely, trusting that what flows through us will never run out. When we give, we look most like Jesus.

We Love The Town

Oakland isn’t just our location — it’s our calling. We show up, serve hard, and believe God’s story for this city isn’t finished. We see beauty in the broken and hope in the hard. We don’t escape the c

Leadership

Pastors

Our Pastors, Jules, and Lani, were both born in Oakland and live to see God move in the Bay Area. They started the church along with their two daughters Vivi & Ellie.The Moores live with a simple mission; the church is like a table; inviting everyone to experience a relationship with Jesus and others.
