St. Paul's Episcopal Church Oakland, CA's photostream  

St. Paul’s Episcopal Church is a community of people, and a place of worship. We are seekers, questioners, the curious, and the serious. We are faithful participants in God's ministry through our church.

Our members include those who attend church occasionally, and those who attend regularly. We are people who come to the altar to take communion, and people who stay in the pews. Our community includes newcomers and oldtimers, those who are new to church-going, those who are cradle-to-grave Episcopalians, and those who come through our doors from other faith traditions. We also have a strong Oasis presence.

Our parish includes singles, seniors, families of many types, and people of all ages, many cultures, and diverse backgrounds. We are an Oasis parish: one that has formally declared itself to be inviting to individuals and families of LGTB (lesbian, gay, transgender, and bisexual) identification. St. Paul’s has a long tradition of being a church home to immigrant groups, including (in the past) Hmong, Vietnamese, and Cambodian immigrants, and (at present) Americans recently here from the continent of Africa. Our parish is well known for music, both as part of the service, and as a concert venue. St. Paul’s is a long-established part of the Oakland community, with a contemporary vision for the place of spirituality and religion in the world today.
