Come explore the intersections of life and faith with a group of your peers.

Young Adults at First Pres is a thriving community of adults in our ‘20s and ‘30s. Some of us are in the workforce, others in graduate school. We are a mix of singles and couples, locals and newcomers. Some of us grew up in the church. Others are new to the tradition.

No matter what our individual backgrounds may be, we worship together, ask the tough questions, welcome honest reflection, and engage in service to our community.

We invite you to be part of it! We meet weekly or every other week in groups of five to 15. We explore questions of faith and following Jesus, share our lives, study Scripture, and pray for one another.

We also meet up throughout the year for hikes, food, and fun in the Bay Area. We host speakers on a variety of topics, welcoming seekers and followers of all ages. On occasional Sundays, we participate as a worship team. And once a year, we go on retreat for a chance to rest, reflect, learn, and worship in the wilderness.

Community Groups

Community Groups meet weekly to study Scripture, pray, do service projects, and build community. In addition to the Berkeley Young Adult Group, First Pres offers a number of other Community Groups that welcome young adult members. Come meet new people, explore ideas, and go deeper in following Jesus together.

Days of Service

At least once per season, we partner with local organizations and schools on rewarding service projects. It’s just one of the many ways young adults invest in community and justice beyond the church walls. We also serve the First Pres community through the twice-monthly Street Meal program and any number of other volunteer opportunities.
