Berean Baptist Church held it's first service the 1st Sunday of November, 1997.  Pastor Brooks often laughs as he tells the story from the pulpit...how there was just his family and a couple others in the pew.  But there was even less the next Sunday...a huge snow-storm blew in and shut everything down!!  What a start!  

Our arrival at this location, 225 Sutton, has been a gift from God.  Without funds to purchase a building and very little to spend on rent, Pastor Brooks drove the area and noticed the vacant church.  Inquiries revealed that an old Reformed church built in 1964, now belonged to the next door school and was only occasionally being used for the school's band practice.  With a very amicable rent agreement, Pastor Brooks could now open the doors to Berean Baptist Church and begin a ministry to the local community.

Today, the fundamental, Biblical truths preached at Berean are for those with a discerning ear, with a heart that seeks after God's will for their lives, and for those who desire to act on the Holy Spirit's leading.  Real, nourishing food is served at this table...complete with constant encouragement to eat the greens - sometimes it's not what we want to hear, but it is definitely what we need.  

Spiritual growth has been evident in the lives of fellow believers here.  It's an amazing thing to be a part of...a church that is alive and seeking after God's will!
