Taylor Memorial United Methodist Church is celebrating its 100th anniversary this month.

Taylor Memorial Episcopal Church was the first African American church of its denomination in Northern California. The Charter granted on Oct. 29, 1921, was the direct result of years of prayer, sacrifice, and determination by the 22 founders.

These devout men and women from throughout the United States had come to Oakland seeking a better life for themselves and those who were to follow.

The impact that Taylor church had upon the community is a testament to the Founders’ hard work and religious status in Oakland, the state, and the nation.

In 1968, the church became a United Methodist Church by denominational merger. Taylor Church has continued to grow in its membership and service to the Greater Bay Area Community.

Throughout its many years of service, Taylor has been blessed to have spiritually uplifting pastors, dedicated Christian members, and outstanding religious services and programs.

Taylor Church is still located on its original site at 1188 12th St. in West Oakland. The church is named for Bishop Williams Taylor, one of the first missionaries to Africa. The Founders, 11 men and 11 women, had originally named the church the “Bishop Jones Literary Society.”

The first minister of Taylor Church was the Rev. Albert L. Scott. To date, Taylor Church has had 11 ordained, highly qualified, and deeply religious ministers.

They have provided excellent leadership and many effective programs.

Taylor’s dedicated membership of approximately 400 persons is a cross-section of persons from all walks of life. Most of the present members have supported the church with their tithes, prayers, and talents. Taylor Church is currently led by the inspirational and dedicated Pastor Rev. Anthony Jenkins, Sr.
