Questions abound. Where is our society headed? What is God up to? How do we live faithful to the gospel in such a time as this?

For such critical pursuit, New College Berkeley offers something rare: “Third spaces” of connection, learning and spiritual discernment across cultures, generations and theological traditions. Places where laity, clergy, academics and practitioners can gather to grapple with today’s pressing matters.

Faith, learning, and the Church’s identity and mission, are under pressure. Your gift before December 31 can keep these rare and needed spaces thriving.

 

Why Your Support Matters Now

The human impact is real. A participant in our Juneteenth retreat, shared:

"At the retreat, Latino pastors, Asian leaders, and immigration attorneys came together to share stories of faith and struggle. New friendships emerged, churches started visiting each other, and an emergency relief fund was launched. Without New College, these connections wouldn’t exist." - Pastor L.

 

Your Gift at Work

Every gift helps create spaces where faith and friendship thrive:

  • Contextual Focus: Faith and learning that tackle the questions shaping our world today.

  • Third Space: A place to listen, discern, and connect across cultures, generations and traditions.

  • Gospel Friendship: Generative relationships within, and beyond, one’s spiritual community.

The Gap We Face

Demand for these programs is higher than ever, but resources are stretched thin. Without your support, pastors, students, and leaders may lose access to the very spaces that give them strength, friendship, and hope. Every day without your gift is a day fewer people experience Gospel-centered dialogue and lasting friendships.

Give by December 31st to make sure your gift keeps these rare spaces alive. Use the form on the right to give now.
