About United Lutheran Church

Our congregation,  a merger between Our Saviour and First Lutheran Church of Oakland, evolves each day. As a member church of the Sierra Pacific Synod of California of the Evangelical Lutheran Churches of America, our United’s history extends more than 125 years in the Bay Area.    

At United, you will not only find a welcoming and active church home and community of friends, you will also find competent and compassionate high quality early childhood development education and serving children age 2 to 6 years. Throughout our history we have always offered high quality preschool education and that tradition continues through our partnership with Kids Konnect. To learn more, please visit Kids Konnect www.kidskonnect.com 

We love the Oakland community

As an active member of the East Bay Lutheran Parishes Ministry, which is a collective of five Evangelical Lutheran Churches serving the Oakland - Alameda communities, we are more than the sum of our parts. 

Together, United, Trinity Oakland, Resurrection, Trinity Alameda,  and St. Paul sponsor a Champlain ministry at Bay Area Healthcare Center, Fruitvale Healthcare Center, and Windsor Willow Tree Nursing Center in Oakland and Crown Bay Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, Alameda. We also sponsor the East Bay Lutheran Youth Program which provides leadership development opportunities and Christian education to our elementary through high school age members. To learn more about the parish, please visit eastbaylutheranparish.org 

We believe that Giving Is Receiving and we stand among giants of good will and courage.   

Thanks to the forward thinking of so many former and active members, we support numerous social justice causes. 

We are proud to provide ongoing support to the preschool of Children’s Rafiki Education Foundation (CREF) in Mwika, Tanzania under the leadership of James Mmbando for nearly 10 years. To find out how you can get involved in this and other Africa-based programs and local Alameda County causes that we support, please refer to the Giving Is Receiving section of this website. 

So, stop waiting. Join this beloved church home that is United in Love and Community. We welcome you with arms flung wide! ​​
