Parents, we invite you to worship together as a family in the auditorium. This is a great opportunity for your elementary aged child to experience the large gathering with you. New Small Groups for the next school year in 252 will begin on August 4 during each gathering.
Are you looking to grow spiritually and connect with others? We’d love to invite you to join us for a Volun-tour on June 9 at either 9 or 11 a.m. This tour will show you all the great things going on here at Berean and help you find a place to serve and grow! RSVP required to Robyn (email us).
Please note that our office will be closed on Monday, May 27, in observance of Memorial Day.
Are you passionate about leading people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ? Is NPBC your church home? Partnership is for you! Come explore what partnership is, why it matters, and how you can take this important step toward participating more actively in our mission. Visit npberean.org/paex to let us know your availability, or use your ConnectCard to request more information on partnership, and we’ll follow up with more details.
All ages welcome. Serve and encourage our Berean missionaries Jorge & Elodia Pacheco, who are starting a Spanish-speaking church near Portland. Activities will include serving children and families through Vacation Bible School activities in the parks, prayer walking, sharing the gospel, and gaining a better understanding of the culture and ministry in Vancouver. Cost is approximately $500. Questions? Contact Kris Cheek (or email us). Apply by June 15 at npberean.org/missions-trips.
The Lord continues to provide for the “Creating spaces to reach more faces” campaign! The church body responded generously to the bridge loan offer, and the banks were able to lower the interest rate they’re offering for any bridge loans we need from them, too.
On the construction front, the rain and wind have been slowing our progress, but the building is definitely starting to come into focus. The wall framers will be working on the building for the next few weeks and the roof insulation and roof are scheduled to be installed over the next week or two (depending on weather). HVAC, fire sprinkler, and electrical rough-in will follow shortly after the roof work.
Please continue to pray with us that the Lord will keep costs down and provide the needed funds, and that He will use this space greatly in our 2k22 initiative: “By 2022, through God’s grace and power, we will see 2,000 people baptized and growing in relationship with Jesus through the Word, prayer, and community.”
You’re invited to pray with us as we observe the National Day of Prayer. Join us in the Cedar Room – at the top of each hour we’ll lead a group prayer for 15 minutes, followed by 30 minutes of small-group or individual prayer, then 15 minutes of break to connect and enjoy a hot or cold beverage. For more info, contact Maranatha Camp (maranathacamp.org or 308-582-4513).
What’s a Volun-tour? It’s a chance to get a backstage tour of the action at Berean – to see what all is going on “behind the curtain” and catch a glimpse of how you can be part of the amazing story our volunteers are writing every week. Please RSVP to Robyn (email us) by Saturday night. We’d love to show you more ways to connect with our church family!
Join us Easter Sunday as we celebrate Jesus’ resurrection! Four times to choose from – 8 a.m., 9:30 a.m., 11 a.m., or 6 p.m. We’ll have snacks and photo booths in the Garage Café from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and right after the 6 p.m. gathering. First Look (nursery-PreK) will meet at 9:30 and 11 a.m. 252 (K-5) and Sola (middle/high school) will not be meeting.

Join us at the Fox as we come together with other area churches to remember Jesus’ death and prepare our hearts for Easter. Families are invited to attend the gathering together; there will not be childcare.
We’re excited about the progress on the facility expansion! The utility pole has been removed from the alley, the foundation and floors are shaping up nicely, and plumbing is being roughed in. And we expect to see the structure beginning to go up shortly!
