Take Note!
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.

A Note From Pastor Mike & Earlene Jessee
Sunday June 24th was Pastor Mike's last Sunday as the Pastor of Berea Baptist Church. It is with great faith that we wish he and Earlene all of our hopes, prayers, and blessings in the next steps of their adventure through life. As a part of his final Sunday, we shared the below Litany.
Litany for a Pilgrim
CONGREGATION: Where do you go from us, Pilgrim?
PILGRIM: We go to establish a new place for ourselves. We go to establish a new work, new friendships, and new opportunities for faith. We go to enter the fellowship of a new church.
CONGREGATION: What do you desire from us, Pilgrim?
PILGRIM: We desire to be a part of the living memory of this place, a part of the prayers and shared concerns expressed here.
CONGREGATION: With joy, we shall remember your sojourn with us at Berea. You have been a vital member of this community of faith. Our prayers are with you as you journey from us to establish a new place of service. You shall always be bound to us by our memories, our prayers and our relationship as your brothers and sisters in the family of God.
PILGRIM: We, likewise, bind ourselves to you in loving memory. We will continue to be supportive of this community of faith through the faith we find ahead.
ALL: You have bound us together in the church, great God, and built up the spirit of love among us. Though we must now go separate ways in Your kingdom, help us to know that we are joined forever in Your loving care. We thank You for years together, for mutual support and mutual forgiveness. Never let friendships fade, but keep us remembering one another and grateful for the life we have shared, in Jesus Christ Our Lord.
