Our Church Vision
"...He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ..." Philippians 1:6 NKJV
Our church seeks to fulfill the vision stated below. It's a goal. It's not complete, but every day with every decision that is made we are moving ever closer to the goal. We believe with all our hearts that this is the path that God has laid before
Berea Baptist Church, and we commit together to work toward this goal with God guiding our every step.
