“Jesus in Berkeley?" is for all students, especially you incoming students who are interested in finding out more about the Christian community at Cal. Most people think of Berkeley as one of the least likely places to find people who believe in Jesus and desire to follow Him, but there are actually many thriving churches and campus ministries full of Cal students who love Jesus and seek to lift His name up here in Berkeley. And we want to make it clear that we love one another and are united in our love for the Lord.
The hope of the “Jesus in Berkeley?" event is to help and encourage you get connected to a church or campus ministry where you can continue to follow Jesus or simply learn more about Him. There will be worship, a short message from God’s Word, hundreds of other incoming students, and returning students, and tables set up by each of the sponsoring groups to check out with info about their activities, meeting times, etc.

In my brief keynote address I'll be reassuring you that Jesus is active and on the move in Berkeley and that you can have an extraordinary adventure here with Him and His people. I'll also challenge you to consider that God has already been at work here before you arrived and is inviting you into the fray --- whatever the case, don't not miss out on Jesus' beautiful vision by doing a "solo survival mode" or hiding in a "Christian bubble" --- These are extraordinary times we live in --- the world needs unselfish followers of Jesus to step up as His servants in every field --- what every every university student is really looking for is actually found in the person of Jesus Christ --- The question is, "Is Jesus in Berkeley?" --- The answer is, "Yes, and He's been waiting for you!" -dc
