First Pres Berkeley is a vibrant and inclusive church located in the heart of Berkeley, just steps away from Telegraph Avenue and UC Berkeley. With over a century of faithful worship, we are a welcoming community that believes in belonging in Christ and engaging with the world around us. Our church has become increasingly diverse and inclusive, reflecting the city we serve.

At First Pres, we are not defined by categories but embrace a both-and philosophy. We are a Jesus-centered church that cares about scripture and social impact. We seek to engage the heart, soul, body, and mind.

Whether you're new here or a long-time member, we invite you to join us for worship on Sundays, explore our sermons and podcasts, connect with our various ministries for children, youth, young adults, and adults, and participate in our events and community programs. We believe in the power of community and the transformative love of Christ. Come and be a part of First Pres Berkeley
