What is 23?

23 is the name of our formal Sunday morning education time. It is named after Proverbs 23:23, which reads, "Buy truth, and do not sell it. Get wisdom, instruction, and understanding." While some may be wary of a "Big Kid" Sunday school, we believe that in order for us to make the transition from an adolescent faith to an adult faith, we must be well educated in the Truth. We also need a place where it is safe to discuss our doubts and ask the hard questions that we all wrestle with.

"23" is done in a seminar style, and all are invited to come and learn. Please take the time to read the class description(s) below to understand more what 23 is really all about.

Childcare is provided.

Current schedule: on hiatus

Starting March 16, 2008, we're taking a break after devoting the "23" hour to prayer since October 2006 (with an occasional class). Please watch the Berkeley Covenant Church online calendar for the latest schedule.
