Way
of Life
Each
Wednesday evening our fleet of buses provides transportation
to the children of Pottstown a chance to enjoy sports, games,
refreshments and a Bible lesson to grades 1-6. It’s
like a Vacation Bible School every Wednesday night! For
transportation contact the church office.
Youth
Group
The
Youth Ministry of the Berean Bible Church exists to aid
parents in raising their children. We believe that God has
primarily entrusted to parents the responsibility of ensuring
proper spiritual development. The ministries of the church
are only designed to meet the needs of children above and
beyond what the parents are able to do. The Youth Ministry
of the Berean Bible Church does not therefore usurp the
authority or responsibilities that are first and foremost
that of parents.
However, the Youth Ministry of the Berean Bible
Church does exist to assist parents in any way that it can
to enable them to better raise their children. Special ministries
and/or materials can be made available upon request to meet
parental needs.
