WELCOME
Fellowship in Christ, Berkeley (FiCB) is the campus ministry of
Korean Central Presbyterian Church (KCPC) in Daly City. We meet regularly both in large and small group settings. The goal of our ministry is to shape our members into "real Christians in the real world"--that is, to be transparent and authentic citizens of Heaven and of Earth--so that our knowledge and faith in Christ would remain firm when we leave the university setting for the work place.
For a deeper understanding of our church and our beliefs, please read the
Statement of Faith on our
church website.
Our ministry has a joint-vision with our church: Ecclesiastical Excellence in Christ. The first part of our vision is to worship Christ as our Savior, for we are to "Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness" (Psalm 29:2). The second part is to build up Christians with the message of the gospel, which tells us that in Christ we are totally forgiven, fully accepted, and radically loved by God. As Christians, we are freed from both the punishment and power of sin and are progressively being transformed into the image of Christ. As Paul puts it, we are a new creation. The third part is to reach out to the world with the message of the gospel. Once we are transformed by the gospel, we are to become agents of transformation in the world through both our words and our actions. In our words, we share the message of salvation in Christ with the world. And in our actions, we embody the love of God through our service to the world.
This is simply the dynamic of the gospel: God works in us and then through us. And this is what we're committed to at FiCB.
The mission of our ministry is to glorify God by being a people who are transformed by the gospel of Jesus Christ and who then serve as agents of transformation for God in the San Francisco Bay Area and throughout the world.
We hope to accomplish this purpose by committing ourselves to these five priorities:
Internal Priorities.
Worship - John 4:23-24, Rev. 4:8-11, 5:8-14
Teaching - Acts 2:41-42, Eph. 4:11-16
Fellowship - Acts 2:41-42, Heb. 10:23-25
External Priorities.
Evangelism / Missions - Matt. 28:16-20, 1 Pet. 3:15
Mercy Ministries / Social Justice - Luke 10:30-37, 1 John 3:17
All of our college students have the opportunity to join a Berkeley small group. Small groups meet once a week, usually on a weekday evening, for Bible study, fellowship and prayer. Small groups are divided by gender, and each small group is composed of college students of different years and ages and is led by a college senior or junior who has been selected and trained by the pastoral staff.
The small group ministry serves a special purpose at KCPC. In a church as large as ours, we strongly believe in making our ministry more personal and more accessible. One of the best ways of doing this is through small groups. We also believe that one of the most effective means of spiritual growth is through close, personal relationships with other Christians.
Joining a small group is a great way to meet people in the ministry and study the Word. If you're interested, please contact us for more information.
