First Presbyterian Church of Berkeley

We are a community of differing ages, ethnicity, backgrounds, and circumstances; what draws us together is the love of Jesus Christ. No matter where you may be in your journey with God, we invite you to join us. Located two blocks from the University of California, First Pres is a dynamic place to work. Our staff shares a vision and call to serve Jesus Christ in a spirit of respect, cooperation, and communication. We believe that we are all doing ministry, whether with adults or children, songs or spreadsheets, or with congregational visits or computers. We seek to glorify God together, to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and to support and encourage each other, our congregation, and our many neighbors here in Berkeley.
