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.

COVID-19 Announcement - Resumption of In-Person Services
Berea congregation, friends, family, and others -
A slight change to our worship services beginning this week - as the temperatures have continued to rise, we have made the decision to have the fellowship hall open for those that would like to sit in the air conditioning for the service. Both options for outside seating and indoor are available.
· We are not requiring masks outside, but we request that you maintain social distancing and please feel free to wear a mask if that is how you are comfortable.We are not requiring the use of masks indoors, but we do ask that you wear one as you enter the building and until you have settled in your seat. Additionally, if you need to get up to use the restroom, walk around, etc, we ask that you put your mask on at that time.
· This service is for adults only (children may join if they are of an age where they can maintain social distancing or if the children stay in the car with their parents/caregivers).
· If you know that you have been exposed to the COVID virus and/or are feeling unwell in any way we ask that you continue to worship at home through our videos and Podcasts.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to the Pastoral team, any member of the Board of Deacons, or Jessica Matthews and we will try and help in any way that we can.
Blessings!

New Sermon Series:
Encountering the Great I AM
Please join us each Sunday, whether in person or through our Podcast, beginning September 27, 2020 for our new sermon series, Encountering the Great I AM, which is grounded in the book of Exodus and John's gospel. During this series keep these two questions in mind: Do you know who God is? second, Do you know who Jesus is? This series begins by reflecting on God's name as it is presented in Exodus 3:11-15. Then, we will devote the next seven Sundays to a deeper look at the "I Am" passages presented in John's gospel. In these seven "I AM" statements, Jesus is portrayed as the:
1) Bread of Life (John 6:28-35)
2) Light of the World (John 8:12-30)
3) Door or Gate (John 10:1-10)
4) Good Shepherd (John 10:11-18)
5) Resurrection and the Life (John 11:17-27)
6) The Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6)
7) The True Vine (John 15:1-6)
We hope you will be able to join us as we delve into God's word and Worship together!

An Exciting Ministry Opportunity for Berea - The Duke Divinity Ministry
Berea Baptist Church is thrilled and excited to announce a new ministry opportunity. At least one Sunday per month, we invite a student from the Duke Divinity School Baptist House to come and preach during our 11:00 Worship hour. It is a wonderful opportunity for these students to get experience preaching in a pulpit as well as for our congregation and community to support this new generation of Biblical leaders and glean a new perspective of Worship.
