IGSM [International Graduate Student Ministry]

IGSM (International Graduate Student Ministry) is an official Christian student group at UC Berkeley founded in 2003. We are primarily a graduate student group, but we also welcome undergraduate students, visiting students and scholars, and postdocs. The students in our group come from many countries around the world, including the United States. Our mission is to “love locally, impact globally," in which we seek to create a "home away from home" for students studying in Berkeley. We offer weekly Bible studies, Sunday Worship Service, as well as special talks and lectures on topics such as the relationship between Science and Faith, evidence for the existence of God, the problem of suffering, and others. We also offer English classes, small group gatherings, fun trips around the Bay Area, sports (i.e. basketball, soccer, pingpong), and other times for students to meet other international students.
