Overview

Crete Berean Church
Crete, NE

With the help of the Berean Fellowship, a group of faithful and prayerful servants established Crete Berean Church in 1996. We serve the people of Crete, NE and surrounding areas, including Doane College and communities in the Blue River Valley. Like the people of Berea, we seek truth from the Word of God and eagerly examine the scriptures. We seek a visionary leader called by God and grounded in the Word to teach, lead and shepherd our flock into the future.

The people God brings through the doors of Crete Berean Church are the hands and feet of our ministry as a church. We welcome an average of 100 attendees each week with the capacity and potential to serve many, many more. Our multigenerational congregation includes families, singles, widows, students, saved and lost souls. We embrace a spirit of grace and desire to live out the fruit of the spirit in our personal lives and through our church family. We are currently constructing a fully funded $2M family activity center and fellowship hall with an expected opening of early 2026. We have a relaxed and welcoming church culture that could grow through a renewed urgency to reach lost and hurting souls in our communities.
