Our heartbeat is making
More and better Jesus followers
Our Story
Inspired by the Bereans in Acts 17 and wanting to transform our region with the word of God, a small group of Jesus followers meeting in homes became Berean Bible Church in 1968.
Berean
Bible Church
In the 50+ years since then, Berean has grown from a Bible study with a couple dozen people to a movement of hundreds of people. In the last decade our nondenominational church family has baptized nearly 400 people, launched dozens of connect groups, and started new campuses in Cincinnatus, Bainbridge, Binghamton, and Online. God is transforming our region one person at a time.
