Emeryville Parish

Our Parishes are organized around a common geography (neighborhoods) and a common need (mission).

Our Neighborhoods

Emeryville is an eclectic and lively city that enjoys a diverse culture and a truly livable urban experience, with a beautiful Marina Park and the Emeryville Greenway. With a population of over 10,000 residents, Emeryville is located in a corridor between the cities of Berkeley and Oakland, extending to the shore of the San Francisco Bay. Its proximity to SF, the Bay Bridge, UC Berkeley, and Silicon Valley has veen a catalyst for recent economic growth.

Emeryville has also become a center in the East Bay for retail, hospitality, and commercial businesses, and corporations such as Pixar Animation Studios, Novartis, Bayer, State Farm Insurance, Leapfrog, and Jamba Juice have made Emeryville their home.  Emeryville prides itself on being at the center of bio-technology and is home to several cutting edge innovators, including the Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI), part of the U.S. Department of Energy.

Emeryville is also a transportation hub, sitting at the crossroads of Highways I-80, I-580, and I-880, and Emeryville's Amtrak Station is among the top ten busiest in the nation, serving both intercontinental and intra-city (commuter) rail-lines.  

Our Mission

UP - Loving God

Our Parish worships together on Sundays and gathers at least once per month to cultivate relationships and serve the community.  We also gather a few times a month in small-sized Community Groups (8-12 people) to share a meal, pray, read Scripture, discuss what God is saying to us, and discern what we are going to do about it.

IN - Loving One Another

Our Parish seeks to take care of one another when we are in need (i.e. sickness, trauma, new baby, unemployment, etc.), we take care of the church (welcoming newcomers, hosting Sunday worship services, etc.), and we encourage one another to follow Jesus and live out the life of the kingdom of God.

OUT - Loving Our Neighbors

Our Parish serves the Friday Night Meal on College Avenue for the homeless, hungry, and underserved. We also seek to reach out to the people in our neighborhoods and networks who are spiritually open and curious in order to share with them the love of God and the good news of his kingdom.
