The history of ISF started back in 2003, when a group of UC Berkeley alumni decided to provide a ‘home away from home’ for international students, and provide a space to explore the big questions of life and build a relationship with God.

We invite you to join us and experience that home is not necessarily a place, but being close to the ones who care for you!

Connect with Us - We hope to meet and hangout with you!
