Take Note!
Our Trunk or Treat event is THIS SATURDAY! Please make an effort this week to invite someone not normally a part of our congregation to come and participate.
Berea helps to fill the Yates Baptist Food Pantry during the fourth quarter of every year. There will be bins placed in the vestibule to collect non-perishable items for donation. Please consider donating as you are able. The food pantry sees an increase of need this time of year.
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 New 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.
If you have any questions, please reach out via our church email address or phone number.
Our first student speaker will be Brandon Willingham on October 28th.
Please join us in offering Brandon a warm Berea welcome.

Our Seekers Sunday School Class is beginning a new study this Sunday September 16th
Samson was a biblical hero. He had every advantage as a boy. His birth was predicted by an angel. He had godly parents who loved him. Samson was uniquely dedicated to God as a Nazirite, and he experienced the power of God's Spirit as a young man. Despite all these favorable factors, Samson failed to embrace his God-given purpose: to use his brute strength to relieve the Israelites from Philistine rule. Samson's legacy, as it unfolds in four chapters of the Book of Judges, is marked by pride, anger, lust, and death. Time and time again, he made the wrong decisions. He was set apart from the womb to restore Israel to holiness, but ultimately his unfaithfulness to his calling led to his destruction and death. Samson was defiled by his sin, exemplifying a life of wasted resources. He failed to save the day. Yet despite Samson's best efforts to mess up his life, God still used him?and He?ll still use us. Join author Chip Henderson as he examines the major flaws of Samson's life, showing how easily we can waste our lives when we fail to receive God's purpose for us. Whether you?re just beginning life as an adult, jaded by failed relationships, struggling from poor decisions, or simply seeking to better understand God's plan for you, this study reveals how you can avoid major pitfalls and embrace that for which God created you
We would love to have you come and join us!

Making Room for our littlest members!
