The new pastor, David Craig, is an outstanding theologian who gives inspiring, Biblical, applicable sermons every Sunday. His Sunday school classes are worth staying for, also. Pastor David has done the coursework for a Ph.D. (which I think is call ABD - all but dissertation) in theology and has completed his Ph.D. in SERMON GIVING. He arrived right before Christmas and has brought two people to Christ already. Join us to see real Christianity at work - not the liberal "Church of What's Happening Now" variety or the legalistic, squinty-eyed people church. The people are warm and friendly.

The warmth, love, and genuine care in this community touched my heart in a way l'll never forget. Pastor Long speaks with such passion and wisdom-his messages stay with me long after the service ends. What touches me most is how much he genuinely cares-he takes the time to connect with each of us, making everyone feel seen, heard, and valued. Being part of this church has been one of the biggest blessings in my life.

Many individuals have lost their jobs and have been unable to put food on the table for their families. The Bethel Community Presbyterian Church provides a place for the San Leandro Community Food Pantry (SLCFP) to end hunger in the Alameda county community. This team collects donated food from local grocery stores like FoodMaxx and Lucky and from local food banks every week. What's amazing about them is that they are completely organized by volunteers! Every Thursday between 6-8 p.m., each patron is greeted with a smile. For those in need, no income or residency requirements are needed as all are welcome, but remember to bring an ID or documentation with your name and residence on it. As always during these times, please wear a mask, maintain a safe distance from others while in line, adhere to staff guidelines, and if you have reusable bags or a cart, remember to bring it with you.

Finding Eden UCC has been such a blessing to my wife and me. We'd been in the Bay Area for a number…read moreof years, trying out all kinds of churches. We wanted a faith community that was inclusive, had diversity, would be social justice-focused, and leaning to the left. We found just that and so much more at Eden. Though not as racially diverse as I would've wanted, we were so happy to find an open and affirming faith space, where there are a number of same-sex couples, including the pastor and her wife. Knowing that we wouldn't be an oddity made the church feel safe and comfortable for us off the bat. Eden does so much in the Cherryland and Ashland communities in Hayward. There is a food bank, computer lab, youth groups and so much more. There are currently free, bilingual yoga classes, a book club, bible study, and always opportunities to socialize and get to know your church family. We have been going to Eden for about 1.5 years now and love it so much. We always invite our friends and family when they're in town. Eden is progressive, inclusive, has tough conversations, and is changing, evolving, and growing in meaningful, community-focused ways. They try hard to create a welcoming space for non-English native speakers, occasionally have bilingual Spanish services. Hoping in couple of years, the population at Eden will grow and shift to be more representative of the community it serves. I highly recommend giving Eden a shot if you're looking for a great community-based, Queer-friendly faith community in the Hayward-San Leandro-Castro Valley Area. Check out a 10am Sunday service, and stay for fellowship hour afterwards. And come back again. We'd love to welcome you to the family!

The church is progressive in its beliefs and is ONA (Open and Affirming) which means they welcome ALL people into full membership of the church. There seems to be a lot of opportunities to get involved in this church from service projects, to education to Yoga. I don't have kids but children and youth seemed to be a valued part of the church family. In fact, the confirmation class was serving as greeters and helped with communion. I will definitely be going back to Eden!

I have served on several committees and sang with the choir. It is a traditional United Methodist service with some old, traditional hymns and some newer, more contemporary ones. I love the personal feel of the times in the service when the microphone is brought around for people in the congregation to share ways they have been blessed in the past week, and another time to lift up need for prayer for difficult situations. The lay members of the ministerial support team along with the pastor, do a great job of conducting services and giving meaningful, thoughtful sermons. This church, though smal,l has several outreach ministries, including bringing the entire dinner for 30 people to the Midway Shelter once per week. They also support Veterans, the Alameda Pointe Collaborative and send youth to church camp. I can't say enough about what a friendly, warm and supportive group of people make up TTUMC. They truly care about each other and welcome new-comers with a friendly handshake and an invitation to come back. Each Sunday there is a coffee hour where people share fellowship and celebrate special events. Even though I moved 25 miles away from Alameda, my husband and I (who were recently married in this church) make a point to come back once or twice a month to worship.
