Berean Baptist Church Statement of Inclusion
We, the fellowship of Berean Baptist Church, worship one God who is revealed and accessible to each and every one of us regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, social standing or all other abilities. All have been given the gift of accepting full participation in the Kingdom of God because God's grace, love, and mercy are given freely and unconditionally and extend to all people. Therefore, we accept, welcome and affirm all as brothers and sisters united in striving to live holy and acceptable lives in the service of God's Kingdom. May our hearts as well as our church doors remain forever open and welcoming to all of God's creation.
Berean Baptist Church thanks you for your financial support of our mission and ministry

A New Ending to the Story
Easter is God's new ending,Life after death, yes
But more
New life here and now, A new kingdom, A Life Of Justice and Peace
And it Comes to this world
But not through armies or weapons or force
Not through profit or wealth or material goods
Not through status or power or privilege
But through
Love
Love that welcomes all and makes space for any instead of building walls and shutting people out
Love that serves and cares and provides instead of shaming and ignoring and putting people down
Love that prays and forgives instead of fighting and retaliating
Love that lays down security And leaves behind safety
In order to form a family with The despised and rejected
You can listen to audio of the full sermon below
