Welcome to St. Lucy’s

Launching Sunday evening services
in Oakland, CA on May 4

WHO WE ARE

We are a new church in the East Bay, pursuing wholeness by celebrating the mystery of Christ through worship, conversation, and neighborliness in a space where stories are seen and honored.

  • Christ-Centered Exploration

    We believe that the life of Jesus and the mystery of the risen Christ is a grounding force for our lives—sparking curiosity, bringing purpose, and opening spaces for joy and love.

  • Authenticity

    Our bodies, and the stories of our lives, matter to how we understand ourselves and how we understand God. Your ongoing story—all of its parts—is valuable. Our aim is a community built on curiosity and respect, thriving through real conversation.

  • Belonging

    We welcome those who are hurting, those who are exploring, and those who are tired of the status quo. We affirm LGBTQ+ folks. We welcome ex-(or questioning) Evangelicals and ex-non-denominational folks, Episcopalians, folks who have never walked in the door of a church, the old, the young—anyone for whom this kind of church community might feel like a balm.

  • Meaningful Ritual

    Activities that feel spiritually meaningful are different for everyone, so we value exploration and innovation while holding to Episcopal traditions that have helped people make meaning of their lives over centuries. Our church services are liturgical—accountable in worship to both the lectionary and Church calendar. (If you don’t know what that means, that’s ok!)

You can park anywhere near St. Paul’s including in the parking lot at the Veteran’s Hall just across the street from the church. Follow the St. Lucy’s signs until you find us!
