Welcome to ISF
International Student fellowship
Your Home away from home
Who Are We?
We’re a Christian community at UC Berkeley for international students,
a place to explore life’s big questions, discover meaning and purpose, build lasting friendships, and have a lot of fun along the way.
Here’s some of the things we do:
🏠 Home Gatherings – Enjoy meals, games, and warm, meaningful conversations.
🏞️ Fun Outings – Explore the beauty of the Bay Area together.
📘 Bible Studies – It’s open to everyone; you don’t have to be a Christian to join.
If you’re looking for a place to laugh, share a meal, play games, explore faith, and form friendships that last, you’re welcome here—just as you are.
UPCOMING EVENTS
A friend group of us (International Graduate Student Ministry) is hosting Discovery Day this Saturday, we’re all invited to join a space to explore Christianity, ask honest questions, and engage in meaningful conversations in a welcoming and open environment.
Throughout the day, you’ll have the chance to join different talks and discussions given by Berk PhD students and Alums, feel free to attend whichever sessions interest you! Afterward, we’ll head out for a hike and beach bonfire at Muir Beach 🌊
