Celebrate Pentecost with us! Read about it here.

Welcome!

Welcome to St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Oakland! At St. Paul’s you will see faces of all shapes and shades; you will see families of varying composition; you will see newborns and great grandparents; you will meet life-long Episcopalians and those discerning their spiritual journey. We are a growing, diverse parish that believes strongly in serving the community, educating people of all ages in the faith, and worshiping God with our minds and with our hearts.

As a Christian community, we are journeying together to fulfill our baptismal vow to love God and our neighbor. Worship and service is at the center of our community, creating a strong foundation for the life and ministry of the parish and for each individual member. We are committed to pray and work for justice and freedom, for all God’s people.

If you are new to us, please know that we welcome you each and every Sunday and will greet you with ease and openness.  May God’s grace and peace be with you,

- The Rev. Dr. Mauricio J. Wilson, Rector

Prelude Previews Return!
Before each 10am service this summer, Christopher Kula will continue to play through J S Bach’s cycle of keyboard preludes and fugues known as “The Well Tempered Clavier.” Before the prelude, musicologist and choir member John Prescott will speak for a few minutes about the piece we are about to hear and how Bach’s music can lead us into the prayerful space of the liturgy.
