Oakland City Church

Oakland City Church Welcoming all to worship to experience Christ's love, and grow individually and community belonging 🧡 What to Expect

The Gospel: Good news, not advice.

A time of worship celebrating what God has done for us in Jesus Christ. Our gatherings are not about perfection, but purpose—spaces where every heart, story, and journey is valued. Expect reflection, encouragement, and the divine challenge of living faithfully. This church exists for you, for us, for this city, and for this moment, rooted in the love of Christ. Kids & Families

All children are we

lcome! Every child, regardless of age or background, is celebrated here. We offer dedicated Sunday School classes for each grade group, ensuring age-appropriate learning and engagement with Bible stories. Babies and toddlers are cared for in our nursery, or families are welcome to keep little ones with them during worship. Every child, every family, and every age is valued and included in our community. Food & Fellowship

Community and fellowship are an important part of our gatherings! Typically, on the second Sunday of each month, the church sponsors a lunch curated by Table Catering to encourage connection and shared community. On special occasions, we celebrate with diverse local food vendors to honor Cultural Heritage Months, highlighting the richness and diversity of our congregation. Everyone is invited to join, no matter who you are, where you come from, or who you love.

This Sunday, May 31st at Oakland City Church, we welcome back Pastor Carl Pascual to preach for our AAPI Sunday gathering.

Pastor Carl served at OCC for eight years and was ordained during the pandemic after graduating from Fuller Theological Seminary. Since then, he has continued ministering throughout Oakland, serving seniors at Christian Church Homes and St. Mary’s Center in West Oakland, and currently serves with the Alameda County Workforce Development Board. He lives in the Oakland hills with his wife and three sons.

This Sunday’s message comes from John 4:1–30 — a story about encounter, truth, healing, and the ways God meets people in unexpected places.

We’re honored to welcome back a familiar voice and celebrate the ways God continues to move through different seasons of ministry and community life.

Join us this Sunday as we worship together and celebrate AAPI Heritage Month.

Happy Mother’s Day to every woman who nurtures, loves, sacrifices, and prays with a mother’s heart. Today we honor those who gave birth and those who have adopted, those who stepped in as mother figures (aunts, sisters, friends, and family), those carrying the grief of losing a child, those mourning the mother they wish they had, and those grieving mothers they have lost.

We also celebrate the love, joy, and cherished moments shared with the mothers and families who make this day so special.
God sees every joy, every sacrifice, and every hidden ache. May His love bring comfort to the grieving, strength to the weary, peace to every heart, and happiness to those celebrating today. May we all feel the blessing of His presence and the gift of love surrounding us. 💐🙏

“Her children rise up and call her blessed.” — Proverbs 31:28

Praying that this day is filled with grace, healing, love, and the reminder that God’s presence is near to every mother and every heart longing for comfort, joy, and rest. 💐🙏

Start the summer off right! Mark your calendars and join OCC on Saturday, June 20th as we head out together to cheer on our hometown team, the Oakland Ballers! It’s a great chance to enjoy some baseball, connect as a community, and have a fun day out in the Town.

Welcome to the Blvd 🌇

We’re kicking off our new series spotlighting the culture, creativity, and community that make MacArthur Blvd the heart of Oakland.

First stop: MacArthur Skate Shop — more than just a shop, it’s a hub for local skaters, artists, and youth pushing the culture forward. From the boards on the wall to the stories on the block, this spot represents the energy and resilience of the neighborhood.

Right across the street, Oakland City Church helps anchor that same spirit in a different way—building fellowship, connection, and care for the community. On any given day, you’ll see that bridge between spaces: skaters, neighbors, and families crossing paths, sharing moments, and looking out for one another. It’s all part of what makes this block feel like more than just a place—it’s a community.

Stay tuned as we continue to highlight the people and places that give MacArthur Blvd its soul.

⏰ Don’t Forget to Spring Forward! ⏰

A friendly reminder to our Oakland City Church community that Daylight Saving Time begins tonight! Before you head to bed, remember to set your clocks forward one hour so you’re ready for worship tomorrow morning.

Yes, we lose an hour of sleep… but we gain a little more evening sunlight—and that’s something to celebrate. ☀️

If you show up feeling a little groggy, don’t worry—you won’t be the only one. Come as you are, grab a cup of coffee, and join us as we gather around Jesus and one another.

See you tomorrow morning at 10:15, Oakland City Church!

We love you, Pastor Harry!

May the favor of Christ and an abundance of His blessings continue to rest upon you in every step of your journey and in all your new endeavors. May the Lord bless you with financial abundance, divine provision, and supernatural favor in all that you do.

As it is written in Philippians 4:19, “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”

And in Deuteronomy 28:12, “The Lord will open to you His good treasure… to bless all the work of your hand.”

May these promises be fulfilled in your life. In Jesus Christ’s name, Amen.
