What is significant about the name Berean Baptist?

Our church named itself after the people of Berean which we read about in Acts 17:10-11. These were people who searched the scriptures daily to see if what they were taught was supported in scripture. They wanted to be sure everything they did had a scriptural basis.

Why is Berean an Independent Baptist Church?

We see no evidence from scripture that churches must belong to a fellowship of churches with a governing body. We have also looked at the historical evidence of churches that have become part of a fellowship and have seen a movement away from the aim and vision of the New Testament local church as laid out in scripture. Being an Independent Baptist Church does not mean that we do not fellowship with other churches of like faith rather it just means that we don’t have a governing body. There are thousands of Independent Baptist Churches across the world which basically all attempt to follow the doctrine and practices laid out in scripture. We try avoid adding man-made dogma to our services.[/box]
