PLAN A VISIT
SUNDAY CELEBRATION
Join us on Sunday mornings at 10:00 AM for our regular weekly worship service.
We celebrate the gathering of God and His people through musical worship, Scripture, a sermon from Pastor Dani or a member of the CWOW Teaching Team, and communion. Each week, there is an opportunity to receive confidential prayer for specific needs. The vibe is easygoing and relaxed (no need to dress up unless you want to!) and all are welcome.
So whether you are new to the area, curious about faith, or seeking a church home, we invite you to join us!
Find us in the Berkeley Arts Magnet Auditorium (2015 Virginia St., Berkeley. Enter on Lincoln St.)
Parking
Street parking is readily available in the surrounding neighborhood. Lincoln St can fill up early, but there is usually ample parking on the opposite side of the block on Virginia St.
transit
We are a 15 minute walk from the Downtown Berkeley Bart Station and a 20 minute walk from the North Berkeley Bart Station. We are also a few minutes walk from the Shattuck Ave & Cedar St. stop of Line 18 of the AC Transit bus which runs every 20 minutes on Sunday mornings.
Kids Min
Kids Min is available for children ages 2 years through 4th grade. We use the The Biggest Story (TBS) and Godly Play curricula to guide preschoolers and elementary schoolers as they grow in their faith and deepen their relationship with Jesus.
Kids Min takes place in the Kinder Room during the 10:00 am service. Children start the service sitting with their parents and are released to Kids Min after the initial worship time. Please remember to pick up your children directly after communion in the Kinder Yard.
Our Sunday Celebration service is occasionally intergenerational, allowing all ages to worship together. We believe that welcoming children into worship reflects the heart of Jesus, who invited children to be part of His community. Our goal is for every child to feel a sense of belonging within our church family.
CWOW YOUTH
Youth Ministry at CWOW is open to ages 5th grade through 12th and meets on Sundays during Celebration. During our meetings, you can expect honest discussion, bible study, and fun activities. Our goal is to create a space for spiritual friendship and personal growth. CWOW YOUTH Service at 10:00am in the BAM Teacher's Lounge.
