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.

'Finding Hope in Hopeless Times' Sunday
Oct. 19
at Live Oak

Guest Speaker Rev. Dr. Bonnie  Dlott returns to Live Oak on Sunday,  Oct. 19 with a service titled "Finding Hope in Hopeless Times."

For some of us, hope is in short supply. Current trends in politics and culture have made it hard to feel optimistic about our future as Americans,  and it can be tempting to give in to helplessness and despair. Join us today for reflections about hope and strategies for resiliency and robust resistance.

Bonnie is the Minister Emerita of the Napa Valley Unitarian Universalists.

Since retiring in 2017 after 11 years of ministry with the Napa congregation, she has had the privilege of serving as a contract minister at UU congregations in Santa Rosa and Petaluma.

Bonnie is a Bay Area native who enjoys communing with nature, cooking, and traveling with her newly retired husband. Their two adult children live with their spouses in Davis and Sacramento. Bonnie and her husband recently became grandparents.

We meet on the first and third Sundays of each month at Christ Episcopal Church in Alameda at 4 p.m.

Live Oak's Board of Directors: President Jim Freschi, Secretary -Treasurer Roger Hallsten,  Matt Lovering, and Jackie Roth.
