Our Sunday morning experience is the foundation of church life at Hastings Berean. With Bible Classes for all ages and a family worship gathering centered around a Bible-based sermon, there’s no better way to learn to live God’s mission than by gathering in His presence every Sunday. Won’t you join us?

Sunday Morning Schedule

9:30AM | Bible Classes

—

Our Sunday morning begins at 9:30am with Bible Classes for all ages. We offer nursery care at this time as well as age-appropriate classes for toddlers through Middle Schoolers and two classes for adults. Bible classes usually end by 10:30am. 

10:45AM | Family Worship

—

Our family worship gathering begins at 10:45am. We worship God together through music and prayer, have a special children's message just for the kids, and listen to a message from God's Word. The gathering usually ends by noon, but some folks like to stick around and visit for quite a while afterward.

Family Worship — 10:45AM

Our family worship gathering begins at 10:45am. The gathering consists of worship through singing, testimony, prayer, Scripture reading, a special children's message just for the kids, and a Bible message from one of our pastors. We also periodically share in the Lord’s Supper together (usually on the first Sunday of the month) during this time. Other meaningful faith events such as baptisms, child dedications and missions updates also take place during family worship as appropriate.

Worshipping With Children

—

At Hastings Berean we want Sunday worship to be a family experience. We love it when kids worship alongside their parents, even if they're not perfectly behaved. We also understand that sitting through a worship gathering is a challenge for some kids and that can also detract from a parent's worship experience. Many parents choose to keep younger children with them throughout the worship gathering.  Others find their kids benefit from special attention.

Children under the age of 3 are welcome in the nursery (on the North end of the basement) throughout the gathering. Most Sundays we also offer Children's Church for kids ages 3 to 6. Children's Church meets upstairs in room 301 from just before the start of the sermon until the end of the gathering. Parents of kids who need more freedom to move or make noise can watch the sermon live from the Fellowship Hall on the basement level.

Sunday Bible Classes — 9:30AM

Young Children

—

Children under two are welcome in the nursery during the 9:30am hour. The nursery is located along the North wall on the basement level. The 2s & 3s class meets in room 101 to the left of the nursery. Our Pre-K class meets on room 102 along the west all of the basement level. 

Grade School

—

Our students from Kindergarten through 5th grade meet in Sanctuary at 9:30am for a brief time of interaction and singing. After this warm-up time they're dismissed upstairs to two age-specific classes for a Bible lesson. Kindergarten to 2nd grade meets in room 301 and 3rd to 5th grade in room 302. 

Youth

—

We offer a special Sunday Bible Class just for Middle School kids (grades 6 through 8). This class meets at 9:30am in room 202, South of the sanctuary on the main level.

Adults

—

The main adult class meets in the Fellowship Hall for a lecture-style Bible class currently studying the crucial topic of prayer. There is also a women's class studying the character of Deborah from the Bible. This class meets in Room 201 which is the north room off the sanctuary.

Parking

Parking is available in the gravel lot to the South of the building. Street parking is also available on Lexington Ave. and both 3rd and 4th streets.
