Christian Layman Church is a church in Oakland, California, with roots dating to 1922, when several Issei Japanese Christians began meeting independently after leaving a Berkeley church. Its history includes continued worship and fellowship during the wartime incarceration period at Tanforan Assembly Center and Topaz, Utah. The church presents itself as a welcoming place to encounter God and shares services on Sundays, while also emphasizing work beyond the church through community-minded outreach.
