Welcome to Berea - we're so glad you decided to join us today!

If you're new here, we would love to connect with you! Please stop by our Welcome Center and say hello!

If this is your first time using our Online Bulletin, we want to let you know that here you'll find a few of our most important announcements, some big ideas from the sermon, scripture references from the sermon, space to take notes, and a link for online giving!

Information for Visitors

We know that it can be intimidating to walk into a new church, here's a little bit of information to help keep you in the loop!

-Child Care: We offer childcare during both services! Our Nursery and Preschool are located on the lower level of the building, along with Kid Konnection (for Kindergarten - 5th Grade). Older children are welcome to join in with our Middle School and High School Youth Groups during the services as well.

-Worship: Throughout the service, our worship leaders may invite you to stand, be seated, sing out, or even raise your hands. Please know that these are suggestions and we encourage you to engage in worship in however the Holy Spirit may be calling you and whatever way is physically comfortable for you. There is nothing wrong with staying seated while others are standing, and you should always feel welcome to stand, lift your hands, and sing out, even if those around you are still seated.

-Communion: We celebrate communion together during every worship service. During our 9:30 AM service, ushers will pass trays and serve you, and during all other services we have tables around the room that you may get up and take communion from. All believers are invited to participate in this celebration as we remember the sacrifice and victory of Jesus together.

-Food and Drinks: Drinks are allowed in the worship service as long as they have a secure lid. Coffee is available at no charge for you in Fellowship Hall every Sunday before and after service. And if this is the first Sunday of the month, we will have donuts, muffins, fresh fruit, and other beverages in Fellowship Hall before each service!

Online Bulletin Survey

At the end of this online bulletin, we have a very brief survey that will take less than 2 minutes to complete! We would love to get your feedback about your experience with the bulletin and how it works for you!

Camp Illiana Pantry Blessing

Camp Illiana has asked Berea to help the camp's pantry by providing divided foam plates this year. We will have a tote in the Fellowship Hall near the Missions table to collect any donations.

God created us to be with him.
Our sins separate us from God.
Sin cannot be removed by good deeds.
Paying the price for our sin, Jesus died and rose again.

Life with Jesus starts now and lasts forever.
