Berean Baptist Church was founded with an emphasis on being a church full of grace and truth. This is reflected in Berean’s mission statement: We exist to be a community of Christ followers who are enjoying God together, growing in grace and truth, and taking life in Christ to the heart of Ohio and beyond. Berean currently sees an average weekend worship attendance of about 800 and has strong kids and student ministries, bringing many young families to the church. Over the years, the facilities have been expanded to include 85,000 square feet of space, and the church is entirely debt-free. Berean leverages its facilities and financial freedom to increase ministry to its community and beyond. At least 20% of the church’s annual budget goes toward local and international missions.
The Student Ministry at Berean is healthy and thriving. In many ways, this is known as the “place to be” for student ministry in the Mansfield area. On the average Wednesday night, around 130 middle and high school students join together for worship and discipleship, and it is estimated that about 200 students are active monthly. A significant team of dedicated adult volunteers helps lead numerous small groups and is committed to investing in the lives of these students. The Student Ministry facilities are spacious and well-equipped with large group spaces for gathering and playing, numerous rooms for small groups, and plenty of places for teenagers to hang out and enjoy being together. Over the last several years, Berean has significantly invested in renovating other parts of its campus. There is also a vision for future investments in the Student Ministry facilities.
