Berean Bible Church
Activities
Meets: Variously throughout the week at different locations around SLO County We greatly value our Sunday gatherings where the whole church assembles for corporate worship, musical praise, and the preaching of God’s word. Sundays are a special time for the whole church body. But there is a level of personal discipleship and intimate fellowship that only flourishes in smaller groups. For this, we also gather throughout the week in various Community Groups. Hebrews 3:13 says, “Encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called ‘Today,’ so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.” The Christian life is not meant to be lived alone. God designed great spiritual benefit to result from running the race with others. This requires commitment though, involvement, and relationship. Our Community Groups is where this happens with intentionality. We have several Community Groups that meet throughout the Central Coast on various days of the week. Each group features time in God’s word, prayer, fellowship, and accountability. for more info: For more information on Community Groups including meeting times and locations, contact Pastor Christopher Johnson at chris@bereanbibleag.com.
The main channel of the Women’s Ministry at Berean is our Growth Groups, which meet on Thursday nights from 8-9 pm and during which women connect with other women over times of Bible study, prayer, fellowship, and accountability. However, the Women’s Ministry also has regular events such as ladies’ teas, Christian book club meetings, and special luncheons. For more information on our Women’s Ministry, check the Events Calendar for upcoming events, or contact Pastor Christopher Johnson at chris@bereanbibleag.com.
In our Men's Ministry Growth Groups, men connect with other men for Bible study, meaningful fellowship, true accountability, for godly friendships to form, and for discipleship to be lived out. In addition, the Men’s Ministry features regular events—such as breakfasts, sports events, and retreats—designed to foster discipleship and fellowship among the men. For more information on our Men’s Ministry, check the Events Calendar for upcoming events, or contact Pastor Christopher Johnson at chris@bereanbibleag.com.
We offer free counseling—to our congregation as well as to our neighbors—which focuses on the call to obedience to God, putting off the ways of the old-self, being renewed in mind through Scripture, and putting on the new-self made in the likeness of God (Ephesians 4:22-24). Counseling appointments are scheduled weekly as needed. If you are struggling and would like to talk to someone who can help, contact Pastor Christopher Johnson to set up a time to talk at chris@bereanbibleag.com.

Children’s Church: Sunday mornings, 10:00 a.m. The Bible teaches that children are a gift of the Lord (Psalm 127:3). They are a treasure entrusted to us to steward and shepherd. All children are made in the image of God and capable of knowing God, serving God, and bringing Him glory at an early age. All ministry to children is an eternal investment. No effort is ever wasted in ministering to children. For this reason, the mission of the Children’s Ministry at Berean Bible Church is to partner with parents to help children come to know, love, and follow Jesus Christ. Parents are the primary shepherds of their children, but as the church, it’s our job and desire to come alongside parents, both equipping and assisting them to model and share Christ with their children. Godly parents assisted by the local church are the primary means God uses to train up children in the way they should go. We aim to be intentional in our Children’s Ministry. Children are a delight, so ministering to them should be full of fun. But any Children’s Ministry that is only fun and games is missing the point. This is ministry—a gospel ministry—where the saving news of Jesus Christ is to be implanted in their hearts at an early age. Though Children’s Ministry should be full of fun, at Berean Bible Church we aim to never lose sight of what matters most, which is showing them Christ. Children’s Church Our Sunday morning Children’s Ministry is anchored by Children’s Church, a time of instruction led by the men of the church. Using the Generations of Grace Sunday school curriculum, which takes children completely through the Bible every three years. After Children’s Church, our kids break up into classrooms by age where adult leaders guide them through discussion, crafts, activities, and games that all help reinforce the central truth of that morning’s Bible lesson. for more info: For more information about our Children’s Ministries, contact Pastor Christopher Johnson at chris@bereanbibleag.com.
