Dear Church Family,

There has been a lot of change and addition that has taken place at Berean Baptist Church in 2013. Personally, I am so grateful to be a part of this church and all that God is doing and is going to do in the future. Thank you for calling me to pastor some of the greatest people on the planet! I am excited to call this my home.

It has been a whirlwind year for us at Berean Baptist Church. We have had the privilege of calling a new pastor, Pastor Chris Peria and his family. We were able to begin our Sunday evening services once again. We also kicked off a new Bible class that has really been a great place for fellowship and Bible study.

In the past 6 months we were able to purchase the new tables and chairs for the fellowship hall. The fellowship hall looks beautiful and it is certainly very comfortable. We were also able to accomplish several additions with our sound system. The technology is considerably up to date now that these changes were made.

We were blessed to add the Peria and the Hamilton family to our church. We are so excited at the prospect of adding several other families in the coming months.

In addition, we are looking forward to the prospect of kicking off a Vacation Bible School this summer. I hope and pray that you will pray about your part in this exciting ministry. There is a great amount of work to accomplish and if we all chip in, we will be able to accomplish a lot more than if we only had a few involved.

There is also a calendar with several events planned for 2014. This calendar of events is not intended to be the “end all” of things we hope to do. It is also not intended to be a “list” of things you need to do. Rather, we are hoping to better prepare you for 2014 and what our church has to offer and what our church wants to offer. We want to be a church that cares for each other, fellowships together, and serves in unity for the sake of Christ. So, let’s get ready! 2014 is a great year to Grow together for the cause of Christ!

In Christ,

Pastor Chris Peria
