There is no doubt that God has been up to something truly amazing here on the corner of Ashland Road and Pouncey Tract.  This year we have seen lives transformed, relationships deepened, and ministries started.  I am truly thankful for each of you and your desire to draw closer to Jesus, and to make sure that He is at the center of all that we do!  There is a beautiful sense of unity as we focus on Jesus alone!  

As we come to the end of this year, many people have asked how they can continue to assist in ministries here at Berea.  In response to that question, we have put together a Christmas List of tools and ideas that we are looking to utilize in the various ministries and the school here at Berea in the weeks and months to come.  We would love for you to come alongside us and partner with us in prayer as we continue to share the Gospel and make sure that the truth of Christ is shared with the world around us!  If you are interested in supporting those ministries, we would be truly thankful as well!   

I can’t wait to see what God has in store for 2023—we are stepping into a tremendous season and opportunity. It is truly possible that years ago when this church began, it was for “Such a Time as This”, where we can continue to be a light in the midst of a dark world, just as the church has been for the last 176 years through the faithful and selfless love and compassion of so many who have come before us! 

Know that I love you and am constantly praying for you!  Let’s step into this year with a spirit of prayer and expectation as we see what God will do! 

God Bless You!
