Walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself for us,
​an offering and sacrifice to God.

Grace to you and Peace!

​Thank you for the many ways in which you support the mission and ministries of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church.

“Walk in Love” is the inspiration for our St. Paul’s 2024-2025 Annual Giving Campaign. The celebrant recites these familiar words from Paul’s letter to the Ephesians during the offertory. They are an invitation to imitate Christ in our love for one another.

What does it mean, for us at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Oakland, to walk in love? At church, we show up, worship, sing, pray, work, eat and laugh together. In our daily lives together, we work with our children, feed our hungry neighbors, help folks who are struggling, and try to make our neighborhoods safer. To walk in love is to walk together, in community, loving God and our neighbors.  

Our gifts of time, talent and treasure make the ministries of St. Paul’s possible. The enclosed narrative budget tells the story of how we fund our budget and allocate our financial and other resources to enable ministry.   We invite you to invest yourself through the resources that God has given you in the work to which God has called us.
