VISION STATEMENT
Berean Church exists to magnify God throughout the Earth by “Equipping You for Abundant Living” through Worship, Fellowship, Discipleship, Evangelism, and Ministry.
OUR CORE VALUES
Worship – Connecting with God, enjoying God, loving God, adoring God and magnifying God. Making most of Him and little of yourself. Spending time in His presence to receive healing for our hurts and to provide a haven of peace and protection.
Fellowship – Connecting with one another. Becoming unified in our hearts with one another. To encourage and support one another in the Word.
Discipleship – A disciple is a “learner.” Discipleship includes walking with God, looking like Jesus, and practicing the spiritual disciplines/habits that help one to grow closer to God.
Evangelism – Outreach to the lost. “Winning Souls” into the Kingdom. Bringing the unchurched to the church. Going and seeking out the unchurched to take the gospel to them. Matt. 28:19-20.
Ministry – Helping and serving others. Meeting the needs of others. Healing the hurts of others. Compassion, kindness, and mercy. Touching the lives of others in a meaningful way.
STATEMENT OF FAITH
We believe in the inerrancy of Scripture, that it is the final authority for faith and life.
We believe in the Trinity, in that God eternally exists in three equal but distinct persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, that He was born of a virgin, died on the cross as a substitutionary payment for the sins of all mankind, was physically resurrected from the dead, and ascended into Heaven where He is exalted at God’s right hand.
We believe that the work of the Holy Spirit is to regenerate, indwell, and sanctify the believer.
We believe that salvation is the free gift of God brought to man by grace, and received by personal trust alone in the person and work of Jesus Christ alone.
We believe that once a person is saved, he is kept secure forever by God’s power.
We believe that it is the privilege and obligation of believers to seek to proclaim the Gospel to all mankind, both at home and abroad.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ has committed two ordinances to the local church, baptism and the Lord’s Supper.
