Berean was started in 1963 by a handful of hopeful believers, believing that God was calling them to step out in faith. Many of these Christ-followers made huge sacrifices to live out the vision God gave them, including taking out second mortgages on their own homes to buy the land to start the church. They chose the name Berean because they wanted to build a church that centered around the Word of God. Berean has been and continues to be a Gospel-centered church, deploying disciples to live on mission. Berean is relationally connected with Converge.
Berean Baptist Church is an elder governed church. The elders are godly men who see their roles as shepherds and overseers that are an encouragement and life-giving without being controlling. They are extremely supportive, healthy, engaged, and prayerful.
Berean Baptist Church exists to see our lives, our community, and our world transformed by the power of the gospel. We do this by helping people live out the gospel in every area of life. We gather for worship, grow in God's Word, give to the work, and go into the world.
GATHER for Worship. At Berean Baptist Church we gather weekly to, proclaim the gospel through the teaching of God’s Word, to express the gospel with corporate singing, and to exemplify the gospel by our gathering. We host monthly nights of worship and prayer called Dwell. We gather quarterly with our entire church called Faith Family Celebration to celebrate the transformation that is taking place in our lives with child dedications, financial updates, gospel stories, and baptisms.
GROW in the Word. Whether you are just starting out in faith or have been at it for a long time, we want you to grow here at Berean Baptist Church. We believe it is one of our responsibilities as the local church to engage, equip, encourage, and empower you for your life’s journey. We want you to be connected in community to do life together, serve together, give together, go on mission together.
GIVE to the Work. Giving to the mission of God’s church unites us in our calling to see the world transformed by the power of the gospel. It is so much more than writing a check or clicking a button. It is a way for everyone to take part in the ministry that happens here. We recognize that our greatest resource is the body of Christ, the individual members of our church. We want to equip and empower them to give themselves to the life and mission of the gospel.
GO to the World. We want to take the good news of Jesus in our local context as well as to the ends of the earth. We have strategic partnerships locally and globally to send our greatest resources equipped with the gospel to make a difference. We create short term trips with our global partners that enable to us to support their calling but also to equip us to reach those people groups in the south metro.
