Our Vision: The Kingdom Of God Is At Hand! (Mark 1:15)
"When we look closely at scripture we realize that God seems more interested in establishing his kingdom than building a church - "Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven" as Jesus taught his disciples to pray in Matthew 6:10. At Berkeley SDA we are committed to understanding and advancing the mission of God's kingdom together and letting God take care of his church. BSDA is a wonderful group of diverse people - students, seniors, with various denominational backgrounds and ethnicities celebrating together in the great work of God for Berkeley and the world. We are broken people who are being put back together by a loving and gracious king. We are learning to love God and one another. We do not have all the answers, but we are learning about kingdom life together. We view ministry not as a program - but a process. We are on a journey together with Christ. Come join us and see what the kingdom of God is all about at BSDA!"
Our Mission: Advancing The Kingdom Of God One Person At A Time. (Luke 12:32)
The vision of God's love for all people compels us to express the love that God has for us in Worship, Fellowship, Discipleship, Outreach and Service. These five very important purposes spell out the mission of our community and are fundamental to our understanding of God's plan for the church.
God invites us to: • Show forth the beauty of God by honoring Him supremely (worship). • Express the soul of God in love for one another (fellowship). • Understand and teach the mind of God by growing up into the fullness of Christ (discipleship). • Share the heart of God by announcing God's forgiveness and love (outreach). • Be the hands and feet of God in serving the needs of others (service). We believe that as we faithfully honor and obey God in each of these areas, lives will be transformed, believers will grow up into the fullness of Jesus Christ and the kingdom of God will be realized in the dynamic life of Christ seen and experienced through the church. |
