Koinonia: UC Berkeley Christian Fellowship (Club)
Koinonia is a UC Berkeley student ministry that meets weekly to study the Bible and hear out God’s perspective. We talk, discuss & ask questions to arrive at answers as we investigate and discover God’s purpose for you and me. Along the way we also hang out, eat good food, study really hard, and “do life” together. After all, sometimes being students on campus runs us through its gamut of ups and downs – thrills, boredom, loneliess, anxiety, or struggling to fit in somewhere – but the upside is that we do it together as we build a community of faith around the love of God.
Curious what Koinonia means?
It’s Greek for “fellowship” & that’s what we’re all about. Get a glimpse into our community by checking out our Homegroups or plugging into a Small Group!
Looking for a church?
Many of our Koinonia members attend Gracepoint Berkeley, which is walkable from campus! So contact us if you want more info or want to know the ride pick-up information from the dorms!

Our Speaker
Meet Koinonia’s guest speaker: Pastor Ed Kang! Graduated from UC Berkeley, Class of ‘85, and Boalt Law School, he eventually left his law career to become the pastor of Gracepoint Berkeley Ministries. For more than two decades, he has been ministering to college students, and delivering intelligent and relevant messages.
Pastor Ed’s wife, Kelly Kang, is every bit his match and complement. After working ten years as a software engineer in the Bay Area, she joined her husband in full-time ministry to more fully employ her gifts and passion to serve others. Together, Pastor Ed and Kelly Kang form a dynamic ministry duo.
