Live Oak UU Fellowship
in Alameda

Welcome to Live Oak UU Fellowship

We create loving community
through worship and service to others

Live Oak Unitarian Universalist Fellowship is a progressive spiritual community in the heart of Alameda. We walk diverse paths to find meaning and purpose but are united by our belief in the worth and dignity of all and the obligation to express our faith through acts of justice and compassion.  Please join us as we create a diverse, spirit-growing, justice-seeking community.

Organized in 2009, we are a small lay-led fellowship that aligns itself with the Unitarian Universalist Association. 
We  meet on the first and third Sundays of each month at 4 p.m. at Christ Episcopal Church in Alameda.

Our services are filled with music and meaning and are led by members of our congregation. We frequently feature guest speakers from throughout the Bay Area.  After every service,  we have a community meal for all attendees. 

Each Sunday's offering is donated to outside organizations whose values reflect our own.  Recently, we have given to organizations ranging from the Alameda Food Bank and the Boys and Girls Club of Alameda to Americares.

In addition to our services, we have a number of small groups that meet regularly and other activities including game nights and picnics. 


Live Oak welcomes everybody. Everybody means - whatever you look like, however you speak, whoever you love, however you dress, whoever you live with, rich, poor, tall, short, dark, light - in all the myriad confusing ways we are human, we welcome YOU.

'In Celebration of Work (from Mundane to Sublime)'
Sunday, Sept. 6

Our Labor Day service on Sunday, Sept. 6, is called "In Celebration of Work (from Mundane to Sublime)" and will be led by Live Oak's Mary MacKay and Karen Boutilier with Guest Speaker Jackie Roth

While there is a balance to be sought, as in all things, work weaves meaning and connection through our lives. 

We may have started “work” when we were children, mowing lawns, throwing papers, babysitting, selling lemonade.  Some jobs we work for wages, others out of love or simple necessity. 

Join us this Labor Day weekend in celebrating the complex and ever-changing nature of work and workers.

Work is love made visible – Kahlil Gibran

What I’m saying to you this morning, my friends, even if it falls your lot to be a street sweeper, go on out and sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures… – Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King

We meet on the first and third Sundays of each month at Christ Episcopal Church in Alameda.


Live Oak's Board of Directors:  President Jim Freschi,  Mark Goor,  Matt Lovering, and Jackie Roth.
