National Church Planting

Why Berean Church Fellowship?

The Berean Fellowship of Churches exists to glorify Christ in our generation through establishing churches, training believers in Christ-likeness and reaching people around the world with the hope of the gospel. Jesus said "I will build my Church" and together we as a fellowship of churches are sacrificially responding to God's call to multiply.

Vision

Our vision is to plant clusters of new churches that uphold a church planting movement in highly populated and rapidly growing regions in America.

Passion

Our Passion for national church planting is to bring maximum glory to Christ through the fulfillment of the Great Commission.

Mission

Our Mission is to recruit, equip, and support visionary pastors/leaders to plant new, church planting churches that are biblically faithful and reaching people in their culture.

Why You?

If you have a dream and calling to plant, we want to assist you with friendship, coaching and resources to see you succeed in your mission. Our assessment process will help determine whether you are a good fit with our fellowship of churches and help us determine how we can best assist you in planting a healthy, missional church.  We count it an honor to partner with you!

Our Heritage

The Berean Fellowship dates to 1932 when a group of Christians in North Platte, Nebraska began meeting together. They called a pastor by the name of Ivan Olsen from the Denver Bible Institute and God began to lay the burden on him of reaching out, instead of building up. In surrounding towns, people were yearning for Bible-based ministries in their own communities and soon, new church groups were meeting in several towns and in 1947 a fellowship of churches was born.

"...the greatest work we ever did in our life was not in building one church up, but in going out with the Gospel as far as we could, and starting other churches."
- Dr. Ivan E. Olsen (Berean Fellowship Co-Founder)
