West Oakland church

Churches come in all sizes, types, and locations in Oakland.  This one in West Oakland looks like it used to be an apartment building.  I'm fascinated by the names they select.  Their commitment is heartfelt and they are often an anchor for those souls who are most adrift.

    If it wasn't for the sign the bars would have made me think it was a prison.

    Oakland seems to abound in small churches like this. Clearly a need is being met.

    Love this. The word "metropolitan" seems a little out of context.

    How about the co-pastor's name: Cinderella Green. That is a first for me.

    I'm not sure I could take a pastor named "Cinderella Green" very seriously!

    The name Cinderella sounds FUN, The place don`t look welcoming.
    Sorry and all that.
    Some people might have found what they have been looking for...... it is just not a place I would have visited.
