NorOak Tribe Regular Gatherings
All of our regular gatherings are on hiatus during the unique time of sheltering in place due to the corona virus.
We have a weekly connection and prayer time on Zoom on Thursday evenings at 7:15pm. Please contact us for the details to log in to Zoom.
Also, please join us for our pre-school play group online on Tuesday mornings at 9am. Email for details on Zoom log in.
Worship gatherings, community work days and other events are on hold as of now, but plans are in the works for when we can get together safely again!

Our Community
Our community is founded on the belief, and experience, that God is for us, all of us, not against us. He loves us unconditionally and desires to bring good things into our lives. This love is most clearly seen in the person of Jesus. And so, we make Jesus the center of our faith journey.
We recognize that people often do not find unconditional love in religious institutions, but rather the opposite. Many of us have had that very experience. We strive to follow Jesus' example in the receiving and giving of that unconditional love.
We also find that we are in desperate need of help outside of ourselves to have hope that life will go well for us. Left to our own efforts, we always seem to come up short.
Because of Jesus there is...
Grace: We do not have to earn love and acceptance. We are loved just as we are.
Hope: There is hope for change, inside ourselves, and in the world around us.
Community: We can have authentic relationships with one another that bring joy.
Partnerships
We are also partnering with our sister non-profit Trybe, Inc. to help host a playgroup for pre-school age kids (0-5) and their parents/caretakers. We meet Wednesdays during the school year from 10-11:45am @ the Golden Gate Recreation Center: 1075 62nd St., Oakland, 94608.
And, seeking to bring the goodness of God's kingdom to our neighborhood, we continue to partner with some organizations like Santa Fe CAN (Community Association & Neighbors) and the Golden Gate Community Association.
