ABOUT US

OUR CHURCH

Nestled in the heart of the City of Berkeley, only a 1/2 mile from the UC Berkeley campus, we are a non-denominational church called to those who call Berkeley and the East Bay their home, temporarily or permanently.

 

We understand that this area can be transient, but God has called us to care, transform, equip, and empower all who come through our doors. Let us partner with you on your journey in view of God's grace and emerge with purpose.

WHO WE ARE

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to promote spiritual growth, embrace cultural diversity, and serve our community through acts of unwavering compassion.

OUR VISION

We will be a community of Believers following Jesus and inviting others to experience Him through salvation, healing, and freedom.

OUR VALUES

Our values serve as guiding principles that shape our behaviors and decision-making priorities. We are committed to ensuring that all our actions and initiatives are deeply rooted in these values. This approach allows us to consistently demonstrate the authentic identity of our church and remain true to our mission of fostering spiritual growth, embracing cultural diversity, and serving with compassion.

OUR HISTORY

FOUNDING PURPOSE

Emerge Church was established in January 2023 with a clear vision inspired by Acts 13:36 and the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19-20. Our mission is rooted in the belief that our past does not define us; we are motivated by a purposeful future. To connect more closely with our local community, we adopted the name Emerge Berkeley, demonstrating our dedication to being deeply engaged with the diverse and vibrant society around us.
