Mission Statement
A Christian, Bible-based, Mission-driven ministry “reaching to teach and teaching to change” one person and one block at a time
About This Cause
Prior to 1983, Memorial Tabernacle Church was known as Christ Holy Sanctified Church. Its founders Bishop Judge and Mother Sarah Ann King originally established it as a mission church in 1925. The church was located in a two-story house on Seventh Street in West Oakland known as “hell’s half-acre” because of the vice, crime, and illegal activity within the community. Under their leadership, the church grew into a center of influence within the heart of the community, as well as one of the great centers of evangelism in the classical Pentecostal tradition in the Bay Area. In 1960, the U. S. Postal Service purchased several blocks of land and property on Seventh Street, forcing the church to find a new home. The Holy Spirit directed the church leaders to North Oakland, purchasing a vacated church building from the Evangelical and Reformed Church on the corner of 58th Street and Telegraph Avenue (our current location). For over ninety years the church, Memorial Tabernacle Church's vision and love for its community continues to live on today! Regardless of who you are, what you are doing through, what you have been through, you are invited to find your place to GROW at Memorial Tabernacle Church (MTC). Through the collective impact of its Outreach Ministries and partnerships with Oakland businesses, schools, and community organizations, MTC believes in building true community relations with a simple method of reaching one person and one block at a time. Mission: The Memorial Tabernacle Church has come together by the Holy Spirit for the specific purpose of preaching and teaching the word of God, (the Bible), and about Jesus Christ, God's son, and to proclaim the gospel of the Kingdom of God to the North Oakland Community and its environs; to bring healing to the brokenhearted and deliverance to the oppressed.
