New Parent Information

Congratulations on your new arrival! We are here to support you as you navigate your baby's first years. In addition to the information listed below, we would love to send you a packet of helpful new parent resources; please contact us to request one.

Baptisms
In infant baptism, we claim God's promises on behalf of our children, trusting that one day they will come to fully acknowledge and receive God's gift of saving grace for themselves. First Pres welcomes families who desire to have their children dedicated or baptized. For more information, contact Naomi Griffin at (510) 848-6252 ext. 241 or at naomig@fpcberkeley.org.

Mothers' Council
Mothers' Council is a support network for mothers of all ages. During the school year, large group events, small group discussions, Bible study and creative projects are offered; childcare is provided for children from birth to Kindergarten. For those experiencing motherhood for the first time, the New Moms Group provides both mom and baby opportunities for friendship and fun. During the summer months, moms enjoy special-interest classes and park outings with the kids. Explore the Mothers' Council website for more information.
