ABOUT
The Commonwealth is a new, progressive, Jesus-centered community of faith.
People from the city, the universities, and the street are gathering to create a community of peace in Oakland by practicing radical inclusion, generosity, creativity, storytelling, justice and gratitude to God.
We celebrate LGBTQIA+ people and queer folx are invited to be members and leaders and to have their marriages blessed by the community.
OUR RHYTHM
We gather:
-
weekly in small groups to talk about books, spirituality, and the Bible;
-
monthly for a free community dinner and worship gathering;
-
quarterly for neighborhood service projects; and
-
annually for a summer festival and a fall retreat.
OUR PARTNERS
OUR STANDARDS
We believe that church should be safe for everyone and we know that it hasn’t always been. If you’re nervous about joining a new faith community for this reason, we invite you to check out our Child Protection Policy and Sexual Misconduct Policy.
