Oasis Ministry at St. Paul's

St. Paul's is an Oasis Congregation, signifying that
we have completed an intentional process of reflection and education, signed a public affirmation of commitment to lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, intersex, queer and questioning (LGBTIQQ) people, and are committed to participating in programs and actions that advance and fulfill the mission of Oasis/California. St. Paul's is also a member of Integrity USA, working for the full equality of LGBTIQQ persons ​in every part of The Episcopal Church.

St. Paul's participates in the SF Pride Parade, the Oakland Pride Parade with Our Family Coalition as "Tykes on Trikes," and celebrates Pride Month in June every year.

We are committed to:
  • Joining with other Oasis congregations in a network that extend themselves in welcoming LGBTIQQ people
  • Pastorally sensitive care for LGBTIQQ people in dealing with spiritual concerns
  • The spiritual empowerment of LGBTIQQ people
  • Sharing the Good News of Christ 
  • Witness, education and fellowship
  • Advocacy for the full inclusion of LGBTIQQ people throughout the Church
