Who we are
We're a group of imperfect people who love Jesus and believe the Bible is God's Word. Together we're learning to live out God's mission for our lives.
Location

Parking

What to expect
Our family worship gathering consists of singing, 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 (on the first and third Sundays 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.
What about kids?
We love kids! We have kid-focused Bible classes for all ages every Sunday at 9:30am. We also have a great AWANA program on Wednesday nights during the school year. Find out more on the Children's Ministry FaceBook page. Our main worship gathering is a family experience. We think it’s more important for kids to experience church with their families than for the gathering to be still and silent. We want Hastings Berean to be a place where you and your kids feel at home.
We provide nursery and children's church for younger kids, but you're also welcome to keep your kids with you throughout the gathering. There's even a special children's message just for them! Children 3 and under are welcome in the nursery (on the North end of the basement) and kids ages 3 to 6 are invited to join Children's Church upstairs in Room 301 during the sermon time. Parents are also welcome to take kids into the Fellowship Hall (on the basement level) where they can watch the sermon live in a less restrictive environment.
