First Presbyterian Church of Berkeley, CA


Worship @ First Pres

Worship is central to our life together as a church. Whatever the style of music or structure of service, we seek to enter the presence of God and hear his voice anew.

10:00 AM
Sunday Morning

The first morning service offers a traditional style of worship in a vibrant and multi-generational context. We seek to embrace the richness and beauty of the timeless liturgy and music of the church. Join in singing hymns and songs of praise led by the Chancel Choir, organ, instruments, and soloists; engage in thought-provoking teaching and opportunities to connect and serve. We hope that you will find a sacred place where you can experience the love of God in community.

11:27 AM
Sunday Morning

The 11:27, a new worship service beginning in March 2008, strives to be a community as varied as that found in Berkeley, with the hope that all feel welcome. The 11:27 is casual in nature, incorporating a variety of contemporary music styles and thoughtful teaching. There are opportunities to worship through tangible acts of compassion and justice. Our desire is that this service allows us to engage together as a community, growing in our love of Jesus Christ, one another, and the world.
5:05 PM
Sunday Evening

The 5:05 is a contemporary evening worship service. We are a diverse and thoughtful community that draws from the Cal campus, Berkeley, and the greater East Bay. This service features dynamic music and engaging teaching. There are many opportunities to connect, grow, and serve both locally and globally. The 5:05 desires to be a place where people can ask hard questions, seek truth without formality or pretense, and live out God's love and justice for the world.
