Located on Fayetteville Road in Durham, Berea Baptist Church is a quaint, active community of faith. For more than 150 years, we have served our families and community by providing sound Biblical teaching and preaching, age-appropriate programming, and diverse opportunities for worship and ministry.
We invite you to explore our website and plan a visit to our place of worship. It is our desire to meet the physical and spiritual needs of our community as a way of fulfilling the Great Commission. As Jesus instructed his disciples to go out and preach the Good News, it is our hope to remain faithful to that command, as followers of Christ. Come see and learn about Jesus’ mercy, grace, and love.

Current Sermon Series:
Join us for our new sermon series: Living a Spirit-Filled Life
The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, but too often in our churches, we do not spend much time on knowing how the Holy Spirit comforts and empowers us. This is why we will begin our new sermon series, 'Living the Spirit-Filled Life,' on April 7th and will stay on this topic for the next ten weeks. In this series, both Pastors Phil and Robbie will address such critical issues as being empowered disciples, paying more attention to hearing God's voice, the relationship between baptism and the Holy Spirit, living a forgiven life, experiencing a spiritual heart transplant, being willing to submit to God's will for our life, embracing the power of solitude, and worshiping in spirit and truth.
Please join us in person, via livestream, or by downloading the podcast.
