Lake Merritt United Methodist Church - Oakland (CA)

Will L The experience was not bad. The community was very welcoming and nice. I would come back again.

Mary Vertulfo Plymouth is a radically accepting and loving community of people, with some of the best music in Oakland. I walked in and was immediately made welcome. I have found life-long friends, music, and endless opportunities there to make real and lasting change to the greater Oakland community through their partnerships and programming. I highly recommend going to their many musical events (Monday Night Jazz, Free First Fridays… Mardi Gras, Soulful Christmas… I could go on!!) Even if you’re not looking for a spiritual home, the incredible musical talent that plays at Plymouth Church is unmatched and you will have a wonderful time here.

prince wilson For me the experience at the Oakland Tabernacle was a Holy Experience a Unity between the people and their God and I would love to go back as I do every week from now on to worship with them

Ron Murray Its a beautiful church that exemplifies the true character of God. The Pastor and Bishop is a man that is well versed in the Word of God. The choir and musicians sound like angels in heaven. Go and experience it for yourself and without a doubt, your spirit will be renewed and refreshed, and you will be blessed.

Rebecca Collins-Puerto Family friendly without fashion control. You are welcomed at the door and treated like Jesus time on earth...enter, rejoice and be glad.

Wondwossen Tadesse Unadulterated pure Word of God preaching, consistent!

Hellen Harvey Wonderful Homegoing Service

Macadamian SuperBaller I really like the ambiance. It would be good for service to be longer. Im still adjusting to being able to eat something and drink coffee during service even though Im sure that Jesus is probably cool with it.

Carlos Silva Very welcoming place, very receptive people, great words, great music with a lot of unction. A good place to come with the family. I also liked the parking, try to arrive at least 15 minutes early and you will get a good spot. Because I noticed that those who arrived later already had fewer spots.

Miriam Smith Ive been attending since the almost the beginning, and the church hasnt lost its focus even as its grown: to love Oakland as God has loved us. Its so heartwarming to be part of church that makes an effort to not only welcome all into the church to get to know this amazing God we follow but to purposefully, wholeheartedly, and unreservedly take God to Oakland.
