The Berean Fellowship dates to 1932 when some Christians in North Platte, NE began
meeting together. Four years later they called a pastor by the name of Dr. Ivan
Olsen, a native of northern Michigan. Having recently completed his studies at Denver
Bible Institute, he enthusiastically began serving the Lord at North Platte. In
towns near North Platte, people who were yearning for Bible-based ministries in
their own communities began contacting Dr. Olsen to start Bible studies. Soon, groups
were meeting in several towns and eventually by 1947 a Fellowship of Churches was
born. Today there are numerous Berean churches around the world dedicated to planting
churches, making disciples and reaching the world for Jesus Christ.
