1. What is Veritas Fellowship?
Veritas Fellowship is an interdenominational Christian fellowship for graduate and professional students associated with the University of California Berkeley. We are sponsored and supported by a variety of local Christian groups, including InterVarsity Fellowship, the First Presbyterian Church of Berkeley, and Westminster House.
2. I am not a graduate or professional student. Can I still attend Veritas?
Absolutely! While our mission is primarily oriented towards graduate/professional students, we welcome anyone who wishes to seek God in our community. For example, older undergraduate students and young adults are and have been vital members of our fellowship.
3. What does Veritas Fellowship do?
We have two principal types of organized activities:
Small groups are weekly meetings of about 4-8 people who meet to study the Word and share praises and prayer requests with one another. We have a variety of groups which meet at different times during the week including coed and single-sex groups.
Large group meetings occur every Friday during the semester. We typically have various activities scheduled: some of the things that have happened during large group meetings in the past year include faculty speakers who come to share their testimony, panel discussions, talks by outside speakers or our own wonderful staff, worship evenings, even potluck dinners and social activities.
There are a host of other things we participate in, including departmental prayer groups, retreats during the fall and spring semesters, various conferences, and service projects.
4. Where do large group meetings take place?
Our large group meetings, unless otherwise noted, are held in room G208 in the First Presbyterian Church of Berkeley building on Friday Evenings at 7 pm.
5. I want to join a small group. What do I do?
If you can, come to a large group meeting, to meet a small group leader. If you cannot make it, please contact a small group leader directly.
