Congregation Based Community Organizing is a relationship-based model of putting faith into action. Community organizing seeks long-term, systemic change on local community issues that are of concern to us. FCCB has been engaged in this model of organizing since 1997. Having achieved two victories on this issue, we are currently engaged in a final campaign to ensure fields at the East Campus of Berkeley High School and then returning to the larger FCCB community to identify the next issue.
FCCB volunteers visit residents for one- half hour per week, providing friendship and company.
Clothing donations benefit the free clothing store of the Chaplaincy to the Homeless. Proceeds benefit the Berkeley Food Pantry to help feed hungry families. Donations of household and re-usable items are always needed. Donations may be left at the church office during office hours or brought to the Cellar Thrift Shop during their hours of operation. This group's purpose is to affirm the sacredness of God's creation and the interdependence of all its parts and to encourage ways of living, compatible with the sustainable future of the world.
