Berean is a Baptist church that operates in a way that many people would consider “traditional.” Our aim is to be biblical and theological in our worship together, pointing people to a closer relationship with Jesus Christ.

The pastor who preaches normally wears a coat and tie, but most typically come dressed in business casual clothing. However, our primary interest is not in what a person looks like, but what is going on in the heart. 

Our music typically consists of hymns, both modern and ancient, with instrumental accompaniment. Our goal is to select music that reinforces and internalizes sound biblical truth that points the congregation to the character of our God.

Berean is blessed with many close relationships in the church. As a result, many families stay after the meeting and fellowship with one another for quite a while afterwards.

On first Sunday of the month, we stay after the morning service and eat lunch together, which is provided by the church.

While both an infant and toddler nursery (up to age 4) is provided, families with their children of all ages are in our congregational worship meetings.

Berean consists of godly families and individuals who have walked with the Lord for years, as well as new believers who know very little about the Christian faith. Though we have very different backgrounds, we are all sinners saved by grace, and all of us could give testimony to God’s transformative grace to us as undeserving sinners. For that reason, we welcome you regardless of where you are at spiritually, even as our expectation, desire, and intention is that you will grow in all aspects into greater conformity to Christ (Eph 4:15). 

If you are struggling with particular sin or suffering, Berean offers biblical counseling which addresses real issues through the application of the Scripture to the problems of daily life. More information about Berean’s view of and commitment to biblical counsel can be found under the “Ministries” tab.

The morning service starts with announcements and a call to worship the Triune God before opening in prayer. We then sing together psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, after which we give monetarily to the church’s ministry and mission. A pastor will then lead in the public reading of Scripture and a pastoral prayer. If it is a first Sunday of the month, we will partake of the Lord’s Supper. After that, the pastor brings a sermon, which is 45-50 minutes, and which normally works systematically through a book of the Bible. At the end of the service, we respond with a final congregational hymn and a prayer of God’s blessing upon the church.
