As a campus ministry of First Presbyterian Church of Berkeley, FoCUS (Fellowship of College and University Students) offers radical hospitality and intentional community for college students in the East Bay; life-giving worship; and thoughtful conversations on topics that matter, all rooted in Jesus Christ. Join us as we seek to live into God’s in-breaking Kingdom, here in Berkeley, and in all the world.

FoCUS is virtually gathering every Wednesday from 8-9 pm. Here is the Zoom Link

All college students are invited to participate in FoCUS Zoom meetings on Wednesday nights. This is a great time for connecting, Bible study, worship and generally supporting each other during this uniquely weird time. If you are just starting at a new school Joe will help you to connect with Christian organizations on your campuses.

Hi FoCUS family! I’m Joe. FoCUS and Cal alum (2001). First Pres and the FoCUS partners of yesteryear brought me into faith, shaped me in SO many ways, and launched me into a lifelong calling to the university and to students. What an honor and joy it is to get to come alongside and support the FoCUS students and Partners of today. Can’t wait to meet you all!!!  If you should need to reach me, please feel free to email me at joet@fpcberkeley.org
