BereaThe Berea Learning Community is our internal training ministry to help us grow ourselves, grow others and grow connected communities. We offer great local church training in the Bible, ministry ideas and practical skills.

Because we’re all different, Berea has a number of different pathways to accommodate all our members at whichever age or stage of life you are in. There’s Berea for kids, youth, school leavers, younger adults, adults, and retirees. We’ve also got a number of different ways to be trained; from casual conversations, ministry team training, seasonal lectures, a Certificate of Theology and internships.

Whoever you are, whether you’re checking out Jesus or been a Christian for decades, whether you’re in a ministry team or an occasional visitor to Soul Revival, whether you’re thinking about going into full time ministry, or just want to ask some basic questions about Jesus; Berea is our way to help all of us grow.

Graduates also receive a community volunteer certificate and reference that can be used for future employment.
