Church History

Sojourner Truth Presbyterian Church was organized by several people who were formerly members of the Faith Presbyterian Church in Oakland, CA. In this endeavor they joined with others who had not been members of that congregation.

One of the Charter Members fondly recalls how a group of young men, most of them neighbors in the Fairmede/Hilltop Community, regularly biked to a restaurant in Berkeley for breakfast on Sunday mornings. After a while a member of the clergy named Rev. Eugene Farlough Jr. became a visitor to the group. Before long, the conversation changed from hot biscuits, pancakes, eggs, and sausage to Christian Ministry in their community. Out of these discussions came the idea to start a church whose mission would be centered on community service programs with a particular commitment to oppressed people in name and service.
