Leading Oakland Kids and Youth to Jesus

WHY DOES POINTS OF LIGHT EXIST?

There are over 500 churches in Oakland, but sadly, not one of them has a full-time youth leader to provide guidance and mentoring. It’s no wonder that our news channels are filled with stories of inner-city youth engaging in criminal activity! Points of Light exists to help fill that gap.

WHO IS POINTS OF LIGHT?

Points of Light is a ministry that provides weekly faith-based activities to 500 at-risk youth in Oakland with the goal of instilling Christian values, leadership, and self-confidence. POL offers hope and transformation by helping young people experience Jesus’ love.

OUR STRATEGY

Oakland is divided into seven municipal districts; Our strategy places two youth workers and two children workers in each district.

CHRISTMAS IN OAKLAND

More than 2,500 people attended the Points of Light annual Christmas party to celebrate the birthday of our Lord and Savior Jesus! 1,500 children received gifts and enjoyed of a mechanical bull and rock wall climbing.
