Parachurch Ministries
We started out as a collegiate church raising up kingdom workers. And that led us to start a handful of parachurch ministries that today occupy half of our covocational ministers.
Impact
We launched in 1997 to reach under-resourced children in Oakland. 25 years later, our mission remains as clear as ever to help kids through academic enrichment, tutoring, and mentorship.

With the 5 loaves & 2 fish Jesus fed the multitudes. That’s the spirit that fuels 5&2 ministry: seeking to serve our community with God’s love. We serve the under-resourced, unhoused & "returning citizens" by providing meals, Bible studies & technology training.
