Berea Presbyterian Church

To the Glory of God

Our Purpose Simply Stated

The Purpose of Berea Presbyterian Church is to Glorify God as a local expression of the Church of Jesus Christ.

To this end, we are called to be a worshipping family of God’s people united in Christ and true to the Holy Scriptures. We are committed to the building up of believers in the Word of God and the love of Christ that we might be established in our faith and equipped for works of service in glad obedience to our Lord.

We are called to proclaim the Good News of the forgiveness of sins and the assurance of eternal life received by faith alone. Salvation comes only by God’s Grace on the basis of the substitutionary death, resurrection, and merits of our Lord Jesus Christ as the Holy Spirit works in our hearts. God has, in His Providence, placed us in Hockessin, Delaware, that we might be strategically useful in His service for the salvation of lost people and the advancement of God’s Kingdom around the world.

Our Church is committed to the defense of the historic Christian Faith with the vision that we at Berea will be united in a confession of faith that flows from the proclamation of the whole counsel of God as given to us in the Bible and as expressed in our Presbyterian and Reformed heritage. We are thus a member congregation of the Presbyterian Church in America.
