Interested in learning more about FCCO?
Come to the Freedom Train class for prospective members!

The Freedom Train is a friendly two-hour conversation in which prospective members, current leaders, and those who are just curious get to know each other, discuss the theological and Biblical framework of the church, and go over the covenant of membership. After participating, you are free to decide whether or not you are ready to make the commitments of membership at this time.

There is no test of creed or belief required to become a member-just a willingness to commit to your own wholeness, to enter into deep, authentic, intercultural relationship with this community, and to share in the work of the church (both practically and spiritually). Associate membership is available for those who want to maintain their primary membership in another faith tradition, denomination, or church.

The next Freedom Train will be this Sunday morning, July 12, from 8-10am. To sign up, email nichola@firstoakland.org or call 510-444-8511, ext. 11.

Those who choose to join the church will have an opportunity to do so at the service that morning.

We hope to see you there!

Pastor Lynice Pinkard
Nichola Torbett, Chair of Spiritual Formation
