The purpose of the Community Outreach Ministry is to support the mission and vision of the Oakland Center for Spiritual Living.  We do this within the City of Oakland in which our Spiritual Center calls home and in all communities both locally and globally. Today the Ministry is in the midst of “discovery”, identifying areas that allow our spiritual community to take the Global Heart to the streets! If this is something that calls to you, you are invited to join us to vision, pray, serve and build relationships that allow us to be the difference in the world that we wish to see.

All congregants are welcome to attend the Community Outreach visioning and meeting on the 4th Monday of the month at 1 pm in the Education Building
