Berean Community Church - Irvine (CA)

5 /5 xrxman01: I am not a member of this congregation however have known many of the folks from this church. I can honestly say that everyone I meet from this church shows so much human kindness which in this day and age is missing in our society. This church reflects the love and fellowship that Jesus preached. I am very honored to know them. If I lived closer I surely would attend this church. Very proud to know these wonderful people and know they walk in the steps of Christ.

5 /5 David Mobley: This is a great, Biblical church, of the "preach the Word in season and out of season" variety. If youre after a church which will tell you what you want to hear and where you will always leave service feeling encouraged, this church is not for you. Its solid, expository Bible teaching, which can be encouraging, convicting, challenging, etc. If the Bible says it, Berean teaches it.

5 /5 arwen_amelie: I have attended Berean for six years now, and have grown so much here. When I first came, people in the congregation did not treat me like a stranger, but went out of their way to make sure I had someone to sit with, and really welcomed me and even took me to lunch and involved themselves in my life. They intentionally seek out those who are new so they dont get lost in the cracks, but rather quickly integrated and taught, fed Gods Word so maturity grows, and you may then reach out to others in the same way. Gods Word is held in very high esteem at this place of worship, and God is at the center of our worship here, not man. You will come away with an awe for the only Holy God that challenges you to love and live for Him, which then overflows in the way you interact with others (there is a lot of gospel & medical outreach going on in this church to the needy, both locally and especially in dangerous regions of the world where our help is desperately needed, and the church always pulls together when there is tragedy in someones life [too many to name, Ive been here for years], so I dont know what the commenter George was referring to). You will understand more about what Christs sacrifice on the cross accomplished for you, and how that plays out in your day-to-day walk with the Lord. There are no gimmicks, no marketing, no manipulation; the pastors here do not focus on numbers and "business methods," and they are not trying to water down the care of your soul by making their teaching superficial and easy to swallow. Rather, the pastors here care deeply that you are ministered to by the Holy Spirit working through the inspired Word of God, and they will love you enough to stir you up and challenge you to live for the Lord Jesus Christ. They will not only challenge you, but equip you with truth, wisdom, community, and love to run the race along side this congregation of imperfect sinners who desire to be continually taught and made useful for the Master. No church is perfect because no one is perfect on this side of Heaven, but this is an excellent place to grow in your relationship to Jesus Christ, and His Body, the Church. "and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near." Hebrews 10:24-25 Church Vision (from website) The vision of Berean Community Church is to glorify God by establishing... 1. a church that engages in God-centered worship and not man-centered. 2. a church that equips every believer with Gods inerrant Word. 3. a church that is committed to its members through love and accountability. 4. a church that reaches out to its community with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
