Faith Baptist Church of Berkeley

About this church

Faith Baptist Church of Berkeley gathers for Sunday morning worship at 9 a.m. and holds Sunday School by Zoom at 8 a.m. The church's welcome invites people to worship, study the Bible, grow, and serve Christ together. Its history traces the congregation at its present Helen Avenue location to January 1976, when Agnes Avenue Baptist Church was reorganized and renamed under founding pastor Henry Lee Citchen Sr. The founding vision was a house of prayer and refuge where anyone could worship, with Bible teaching connected to the realities of daily life. The site identifies Michael Dwayne Wallace as the congregation's sixth pastor, chosen in 2021.

Faith Baptist's historical account records youth and young-adult church and choir, a mission society, usher ministries, men's and women's ministries, Vacation Bible School, health ministry, prayer and Bible study, fellowship meals, and practical concern for homeless and economically vulnerable neighbors. Because several of those details appear in a historical narrative rather than a current ministry calendar, visitors should ask which programs are active now. The services page still describes Wednesday prayer and Bible study as resuming in September 2022, so it is not reliable evidence of a current Wednesday schedule. The official site does not explain worship length, musical style, Communion, nursery or children's care, parking, accessible entry, livestreaming, or hearing and sensory accommodations.
