First Time Visitors-What to Expect
Welcome From Our Pastor
On behalf of the congregation of the Marysville Berean Church, welcome to our site. We are delighted to share with you some information about us and hope that you find it helpful. We are named after the “Bereans” [buh-ree-uhns], who in Acts 17:11 were known for their eagerness in searching the Scriptures to know the Lord. We continue in that great tradition of explaining and applying the life-changing truths of God’s Word for our lives today. If you are looking for a place to worship, stop in and visit us. We would love to meet you.
