The Goal
$1,000,000
This is a year-one fund to plant Bay Bridge Church. UC Berkeley is chapter one — not the whole story. The Sending Fund trains and sends evangelists, church planters, and campus ministers to carry the gospel across a region of millions.
*A 2nd installment of $100,000 is committed for January 1st, 2027 — not reflected above.
Why a Sending Fund?
We're not a traditional plant with a sending church covering the budget. The SF Bay Fellowship — a network of house churches around the Bay — has committed $200,000 in seed money plus its full 2026 special missions contribution. That's the seed. You're the rest.
And because planting where the need is greatest means planting in one of the most expensive places in America — well… have you seen Bay Area rent? We think it's worth it.
Where It Goes
Evangelists for the neighborhoods. Planters for the cities. Campus ministers for Berkeley and beyond. Social media outreach that has already borne fruit — the same online engine that led to 240+ baptisms in Boston since 2023 is coming to the Bay.
