Berkeley Covenant Church	1632 Hopkins Street, Berkeley, CA 94704	510.526.8775	Service: 10.30am
Multi-generational, multi-ethnic protestant church of the evangelical covenant denomination of approximately 80 members who seek to experience and live out the apostolic faith as laid out in the Bible with one another as part of a church community. The music on sundays is a mix of contemporary songs and traditional hymns. Current members are from diverse denominational backgrounds.
Chinese for Christ, Berkeley	2715 Prince St., Berkeley, CA 94705	510.654.8137	Services: English-9:40am, Chinese-11am
A small non-denominational church with youth, college, young adult, and family fellowship group meetings throughout the week. The 80- to 100-member English congregation is composed of mainly American-born Chinese, but all are welcome. The English congregation senior pastor is Chris Yen, who has also served as the youth pastor at CFC Berkeley.
Christ Church	1601 Walnut Street (Berkeley) and 5951 College Avenue (Oakland)	510-644-4949	Servies: Berkeley: 10:30am, Oakland: 5:00pm
Christ Church has a smaller congregation (may be a couple hundred?) and a more academic style of preaching.  The congregation is made up of a lot of students and young professionals.  A disproportionate number of lawyers and law students attend here.  There are some young families as well.  The service is pretty traditional, i.e. there is a lot of liturgy.  (There's not as much as at a Catholic or Episcopal church, but much more than you'd expect from a Presbyterian church.)  Christ Church is currently in the PCA, but is soon reorganizing in the EPC.  It's a Redeemer (NYC) church plant and is also affiliated with City Church in SF; it's about 6 years old. The two lead Pastors, Bart and Jonathan are really wonderful.  I appreciate that their sermons are very thoughtful and genuine.  Christ Church also has Community Groups during the week, where its easier to get to know other people in the congregation.
First Presbyterian Church of Berkeley	2407 Dana Street, Berkeley, CA	510.848.6242	Services: 830a (Traditional), 10a (Traditional), 11:27a (Contemporary), 5:05p (Contemporary)
A friendly and diverse church just south of the UC Berkeley campus with ministries and teachings for all ages and backgrounds.
Newman Hall - Holy Spirit Parish	2700 Dwight Way, Berkeley, CA	510.848.7812	Mass: Sat 5pm, Sun 7:30, 9:30 & 11:30am, 5 & 10pm (Mon - Sat 12:10pm)
The Catholic student parish at UC Berkeley. Newman is a very diverse community, spanning a wide range of ages, cultures, and socioeconomic groups. All are welcome!
Re:generation	238 E 15th St, Oakland, CA 94606	510.444.2950	Services: 9:30am, 6:00pm
Doing justice, loving mercy & walking humbly with our God in the city of Oakland. In a city bursting with people of all shapes, sizes and colors, Regeneration is in a unique place to put down our roots in our neighborhood and love it the way Jesus would. We hope this is a place where you'll find Jesus at work in the folks within our family and all around us. Come over and meet us, we hope you'll stick around.
St Ambrose Catholic Church	1145 Gilman Street, Berkeley, CA 94706	510.525.2620	Mass: Sunday 8:30 and 10:30AM (English), 12:15PM (Spanish)
A Christ-centered Catholic church. Sermons are short and simple (i.e. I actually remember some of it at the end of the service). A good opportunity to take a Sunday morning break from highly intellectual university circles and spend an hour simply centered on Christ and Communion. Within walking distance to University Village.
