More and Better Jesus Followers in 2024

Despite a challenging economy and political environment, God was mightily at work through YOU last year. Faith grew through compelling worship gatherings, engaging mentoring, and relational home groups.

Our mission is to make more and better Jesus followers.

Steve was raised Catholic and learned good values and basic faith, but he didn’t know Jesus personally. A few years ago, he lost his faith, walked away from church, and began to question if heaven was even real.

In late 2023 he began to attend Berean, and God started to transform his life. Now he has spiritual clarity and joy marks his life. He says: “There’s a lot of work to turn this mess into a message, but I’m not alone anymore. I have Jesus and I have my Berean family.”

On July 28th, 2024, he was publicly baptized to proclaim his new faith in Jesus. He meets weekly in a connect group of people who have become like his extended family. He would love for others to experience Jesus like he has: “Take that next step and hopefully you’ll feel the joy that I’m feeling now!”

Steve is a life changed, thanks to the power of Jesus and the irresistible love of you, his new faith family.

When you give, you invest in transformed lives.

We are blessed with a 96% recommendation rate on Facebook and a 5 star rating on Google. Our online engagement is strong and growing. 

When we look around our campuses, we see many stories like Steve’s story, people Jesus is rescuing. Thank you for giving back to God by investing in Berean’s mission.
