Growing in faith happens best when we're connected to the gospel and to one another. At Berean, connection looks different for everyone, but it begins with a simple next step. Whether you're brand new, exploring faith, or ready to grow deeper, we'd love to help you discover how you can be connected. After you've explored the options below, please contact Lindy Wifler, our Connections Director, with any questions.
New to Berean or looking to get connected? This is the place to start. Our First Connection Brunch is a relaxed, one-hour gathering held on the first Sunday of every month. It’s a chance to enjoy brunch, meet leaders and fellow newcomers, and learn more about Berean’s mission, beliefs, and values.
You’ll hear our story, have an opportunity to share yours, explore ways to get connected, and ask questions. Come as you are and leave knowing your next step, whether that’s joining a group, serving, membership, baptism, or simply continuing to explore.
Becoming a member of Berean is more than joining a church. It’s about committing to a church family and partnering together in the mission of making and multiplying disciples of Jesus.
Our Membership Class is a two-part experience offered quarterly. In the first session, you’ll learn what we believe, how we are led, and what it looks like to belong at Berean. It’s also a great space to ask questions and explore whether membership is the right next step for you. The second session provides an opportunity to meet with a pastor or elder to share your faith story and discuss your readiness for membership.
Baptism is a meaningful step of obedience and celebration for believers, a public declaration of faith in Jesus. We believe baptism by immersion is the biblical expression of identifying with Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection.
Our Baptism Class is a welcoming, no-pressure environment designed to help you understand what the Bible teaches about baptism and explore whether this is your next step. Attending the class does not commit you to being baptized. Our desire is to walk with you, answer your questions, and support you as you prayerfully consider baptism. If you’re confident baptism is the right step for you, the class will guide you as you begin.
No. Baptism is a step of obedience for any believer in Jesus. Baptism by immersion is required for church membership at Berean.
No. The class is informational and designed to help you learn and ask questions.
We believe immersion best reflects the biblical model and meaning of baptism, identifying with Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection as described in Romans 6:3–4. Immersion also symbolizes the washing away of sin and the beginning of new life in Christ.
While we honor the significance of those moments, we practice believer's baptism by immersion following a personal profession of faith. If you were baptized as an infant or by another method, we invite you to attend the Baptism Class to learn more and ask questions.
Yes. Attendance is required before participating in a baptism event.
