Help Restore a West Oakland Landmark: Rebuild Our Community Hub!

A Historic Church & School Needs Your Support After a Devastating Fire

St. Andrew Missionary Baptist Church Private School Theological Academia would like to ask you to join us in the restoration project of Oakland designated landmark #140.

West Oakland has long been home to powerful community spaces—places where people gather, learn, and find hope. One of these spaces, a historic church and school, was tragically damaged by fire, leaving our community without a vital hub for education, worship, and support.

Now, we need your help to restore this landmark and ensure it continues to serve future generations! We're not giving up - and neither is our community.

Why This Matters

For years, this building has been more than just bricks and mortar—it has been a beacon of hope, offering:

✅ Educational Programs for children and adults

✅ Faith Services & Gatherings for spiritual connection

✅ Youth Mentorship & After-School Activities

✅ Support for Veterans & Elders

✅ Food & Resource Drives for those in need

The fire has left significant damage, we're still meeting and serving weekly and bi-weekly in limited spaces, but together, we can rebuild!

What We Need

Your generous donation will help us:

Repair structural damage to make the building safe again

Restore classrooms, meeting spaces, and the main hall
