About this Event
In Partnership with First Pressbyterian Berkeley and the Riverside Church NYC
What does the future of faith look like—and how do we navigate it together?
Join us for The Future of Faith 2027: Finding Our Way Together, a gathering of diverse voices, creative vision, and meaningful conversations about faith in a rapidly changing world.
- When: Begins Jan 28, 7:00 pm and concludes Jan 30, 12:00 pm
- Where: First Presbyterian Church Berkeley (2407 Dana Street, Berkeley)
Together, we'll explore emerging challenges, reimagine possibilities, and discover new ways to walk faithfully into the future.
In addition to plenary sessions featuring music and powerful speakers, this gathering will offer three dynamic tracks designed to spark creativity, deepen learning, and inform action:
- Spark Lab – for storytelling fellows (FIRE Stories)
- Preaching Lab – for preaching fellows (Preaching Justice)
- Common Good Lab – for anyone curious about living the good life together
Through engaging conversations, hands-on learning, inspiring worship, and meaningful connections, we'll discover new possibilities for faith, leadership, and community.
The future of faith isn't something we face alone. It's something we shape together.
