First Congregational Church of Oakland gives glory to God by reaching out to people of all racial, ethnic and economic backgrounds, ages, abilities and sexual orientations |
to welcome them into the beloved community |
where together we discover our gifts |
develop authentic relationships with God and each other |
join in passionate, creative, Spirit-led worship |
grow in faith, understanding, power, love and service |
and respond to the word of life we encounter in Jesus Christ |
by becoming part of what the Spirit is doing |
to create justice and peace |
heal the earth |
and restore kinship with all creation |
