What is a "Berean?"

Our full name is Berean Bible Church. When people see the word "Berean" (pronounced "Ber-re-in") they wonder what it means. The word actually comes from the Bible. The verse reads: "Now the Bereans . . . . . received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true." (Acts 17:11). Our distinguishing characteristic as a church is a strong emphasis on Bible teaching. For us the Bible is the living expression of God's will and work in our world. In the Bible we find answers for life's pressing problems. In an age when people will believe nothing or anything we have found the Bible to be true and trustworthy both individually as believers and together as a congregation.
