St. John's Presbyterian Church of Berkeley

St. John's Presbyterian Church addresses local, national, and international concerns. We are a church that takes leadership in Peace and Justice, the "More Light" movement for gay and lesbian Christians, and  in programs for the homeless. St. John’s was founded shortly after the San Francisco Earthquake of 1906.

Our Mission

To worship and rejoice, to teach and to continue to be reformed, so as to sight, signal, support and celebrate the coming of God's kingdom.

To spread the gospel of salvation through Jesus Christ, as witnessed in the Bible, in worship and in the life of our congregation, to a doubting world.

To support people in their needs including children, older adults, the homeless, refugees, the LGBTQ+ community, environmentalists, truth- and justice-seekers.

To encourage creativity, gratitude and wonder so that the congregation and the larger community might better love and care for all creation.
