UC Berkeley Christian Fellowship (Club)

baptismKoinonia 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!

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 a pastor. 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.

Night Market!!

If you didn’t come to Night Market this past Monday, you sure missed out on an amazing event! There were so many people coming from every corner of the campus (evident by the dorm teams) at Barrows Courtyard trying out the free Asian foods in a pseudo-Night Market style.  One sophomore came 30 minutes early [...]

Games!

Welcome week is notoriously boring, and we love remedying this age old problem! Last night Koinonia got together for a rousing time of games. We played Human Bingo – a game of bold claims! Words cannot describe all that happened, but suffice it to say many strong impressions were made…images that have [...]

Weekend of Happiness

May 10 | 7 Comments

This past Sunday was also the senior’s epic Graduation Sunday! The seniors superbly sang a sweet and sure-to-honor-God song (I just used alliteration, for those engineers out there who might have been befuddled at the presence of so many “s”s). Photo courtesy of Mike Chen. For me, I was impacted by the growth of these seniors as they [...]

Congratulations Becky and Daniel! They got baptized a few weeks ago, but the pictures just came in!

Sierra Lodge Glory

The challenge: The guys must charge up the steep, soft hill, capture the sleds and ride down to glory. But the girls, frosh guys, and frosh bro staff are fiercely resisting them with snow projectiles. The result is some glorious fun.
