A Progressive, gently Christian, open to all faiths, Community
Please join us for our service on Zoom every Sunday at 10:30 am. Click here for the link.
Log in at 10:25, introduce yourself and then enjoy a sermon that will keep you thinking for the rest of the week.
Welcome! We are happy you have found our website. We are a progressive congregation in north Berkeley, committed to an interfaith perspective of spirituality and faith. The interfaith tradition has been a growing part of our history for many decades. Our identity and purpose are rooted in the progressive Christian tradition and lead us to reflect upon the life and teaching of Jesus. At the same time, our explorations are inspired by the respectful study of world and indigenous religions. We welcome people of any religious tradition or of a secular spirituality to join with us in worship and service to others. Northbrae gratefully welcomes all who enter our doors, and who wish an active and transformative faith.

Minister position information packet is here. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Meditation Practice Every Monday at 5:00 pm (PST). Please join us in spirit and let's celebrate! Yes, we are having a trying time. But this is the time to celebrate, the shortest day of the year is behind us, and if you successfully stayed safe all these months - that really is a cause to celebrate - and be thankful. Gratitude allows us to savor life and to recognize that most of our good fortune in life comes from others. The gratitude practice is meant to be one you can do daily, to help you appreciate large and small blessings. Close your eyes and recall three things from your day for which you are grateful. They can be anything from the kindness and generosity of a friend, to the bounty of a meal, to the warmth of the sun, to the beauty of a night sky. Wednesday Movie Night - Please join us Wednesday, January 27th at 6:30 PM for a discussion of a cult classic. Write for Your Life Writing Group - Write for Your Life is now meeting on Zoom three times a month; on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays at 10:00 a.m. and the 3rd Thursday at 3:00 p.m. This is an open, drop-in group. Sunday Evening Book Group - The Sunday Book Group is reading Democracy in America by Alexis de Tocqueville. We will meet on Zoom, Sunday, January 17, 2021 at 7:00 PM to discuss the book.
