Live Oak Unitarian Universalist Fellowship is a new congregation of UUs serving the San Francisco Bay area, especially Alameda, Berkeley, Oakland, Piedmont, San Leandro, and nearby communities.
Welcome!
Growing together in love & spirit ...
xxxxxxxxxxthrough inspiring worship and service to others
Live Oak is a growing, multigenerational congregation grounded in the history and heritage of liberal religion. Our shared ministry enlists the whole church family in living out the values we proclaim -- at home, at church, and in the world. We welcome all -- seekers of every religious background
with no distinction of class, nationality, race, gender or sexual orientation.
NEW LOCATION! Live Oak UU has MOVED to a larger space that is wheelchair accessible! Our new home: 1700 Santa Clara Ave., Alameda (in the sanctuary of Christ Episcopal Church at the corner of Santa Clara and Grand, just a few blocks from our former location.)
In an increasingly impersonal, modern secular world, we aspire to be a larger family for all who share in our search for meaning and purpose in life, unrestrained by doctrine or creed.
We meet for worship and fellowship twice a month on the first and third Sundays of the month. Please join us at 4:00 p.m. in our new church home, 1700 Santa Clara Ave., Alameda (in the sanctuary of Christ Episcopal Church).
Children and Youth join the adults for the first 15 minutes of the worship service, which includes a story for all ages. Children and their teachers then head to their classrooms. Children are, of course, always welcome to stay with a parent in the service.
Light Supper After: Many friends and members stay after the service for a fellowship meal. Everyone is invited to stay to get to know us and to break bread together. We hope you will join us.
For more details, please contact info@uuliveoak.org.
Live Oak's Next Service:
Sunday, February 5, 4:00 p.m.
Where Do We Come From?
Guest Minister Rev. Ben Meyers and Worship Leader Kate Hand

Before beginning his ministry at the Berkeley Fellowship of Unitarian Universalists in August, 2009, the Rev. Ben Meyers served as Consulting Minister to congregations throughout the Pacific Central District of the Unitarian Universalist Association (Northern California and environs.) He served seven years as minister at the Mission Peak UU Congregation in Fremont, CA. Rev. Meyers has studied theology, philosophy, music, history, business management and organizational development. In other fields, he has been a teacher, chef, professional musician, and administrator at the second largest environmental conservation organization in America.
