City Life Church East Bay is led by pastors Jonathan and Elana Wilkins. Pastors Jonathan and Elana have served as pastors in the Bay Area for more than 2 decades. Pastor Jonathan is an anointed prophetic voice to this generation. He & Elana are committed to building the local church and have had the privilege of ministering throughout the U.S. and in many countries around the world. They have 4 beautiful children: Erika, Julianna, Jaden & Ethan.
Our services are roughly 1 hour 15 minutes. Typically services begin with 20-30 minutes of worship, followed by a message from a pastor. All weekend services include kids classes. These are fun, safe, age-appropriate ways for kids to learn about Jesus and the Bible.
Our purpose is to reach every child with the life giving message of Jesus that they might become fully devoted followers of Christ. In City Life Kids, we will share God’s light in order to draw entire families into His kingdom.
City Life Youth is a thriving student ministry that includes Middle School, High School, and College age students. High-energy worship music, games, food, thought provoking messages based on the Bible.
Groups are designed to help you thrive by creating a space for authentic connection growth. We have a group for every age, location, and background. Groups meet throughout the week at various times throughout the Bay Area and online.

Our service start with worship music, end with preaching and follow-up prayer. The service is approximately 1 hour and 5 minutes long and begins at 9AM, 10:30am, and 12PM. We are very casual and non-traditional, yet intentional in our pursuit of God. You can expect to be greeted by friendly people and included in our services. Immediately after the service, our pastors and leaders hang out at the City Life Cafe, and they’d love to meet you or answer any questions you might have.
Look for the City Life Kids check-in area or for a dream team member wearing a lanyard to assist you. All of our Kids Classes are open for check-in 15 minutes prior to service and kids are picked up immediately after service. To find out more click here.
We want you to feel comfortable. After all, we are thrilled that you’re joining us and want you to be more focused on the service than what you’re wearing. In the summer time, it’s not uncommon to see people wearing sandals, shorts, and a shirt. Others prefer to still put on their “Sunday Best,” and that’s fine too. We think you’ll fit in no matter how you dress.
We have partnered with Lowes directly across the street. You may park on the second level of the parking lot.
Additionally, there is street parking.
City Life Church worship is loud, mostly upbeat, and always about Jesus. God has blessed us with talented musicians who love Jesus and are there to help bring us into the presence of God. Worship is way more than entertainment. It is our expression of love and gratitude to God, so we’re pretty passionate and intentional about it.
We preach Jesus. This means we teach from the Bible, because the Bible is all about Jesus. We strive to preach sermons that are relevant and meet people where they’re at. Our goal is for people to be challenged in their faith, encouraged in their walk with God and equipped to fulfill their purpose here on earth. The sermon is usually 35-40 minutes in length. You can check out previous sermons here.
This is how we communicate with God. Nobody is “forced” to pray out loud, but as a charismatic church, it’s not uncommon for people to pray passionately at different points of our services. If you have any special prayer requests, our Prayer Team is always happy to pray with you.
Belong Membership Class helps you discover life at City Life Church. God has given our church a powerful story and big vision. We want to share that with you and help you connect with where we’ve been and where we’re going.
