About Us
FAITH IN ACTION SINCE 1939
Join Rev. Dr. Kenneth J. L. Anderson for the inspiring 'I Need Thee Gospel Hour.' Tune in live every Sunday at 9 PM and Monday at 6 PM Pacific for uplifting messages and music.
Founded in 1939, Williams Chapel Baptist Church is a historic Black church where worship becomes action and faith builds community. Under the leadership of Rev. Dr. Kenneth J.L. Anderson, we serve Oakland through affordable housing, care for seniors and families, education, economic opportunity, social justice, and the love of Jesus Christ. We believe the Church should worship, build, feed, teach, shelter, heal, and uplift.
Come and worship with us. We are a loving church, here to serve the community with the love of Jesus Christ. See our service time and bible study times below. We'd love to fellowship with you soon.

Meet The First Family
The Andersons
Family is at the center of God’s plan for the happiness and progress of His children. The Holy Bible teaches that God established families from the very beginning, and it shows us many examples of strong families. It also teaches us how to have a loving, happy family.
From the beginning, God blessed and encouraged families, commanding Adam and Eve to “be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth” (Genesis 1:28).
