Lowell Berry Center for Urban Ministry

Serving Christian Leaders in Oakland & East Bay

The Lowell Berry Center for Urban Ministry exists to serve Christian leaders in Oakland and the East Bay.

God has raised up an amazing and diverse network of churches and ministries to serve East Bay communities and make visible the hope of Jesus. They extend the Kingdom of God with every worship service, tutoring session, meal prepared, and relationship formed.

We believe we can contribute to impacting God’s Kingdom by partnering with leaders of these missions and churches to help them flourish and thrive.

Our commitment is to cultivate sustainable partnerships with leaders that will foster their spiritual, emotional, and relational health while equipping them with resources for leading, serving, discipling, and empowering their communities.
