Ministries

What should a healthy church look like according to God?  The Bible describes the church as an active body of Christ-followers who worship, witness, train, and care in the name of Jesus.  Berkeley Baptist has ministries which help people do these four things.

Worship Teams

• Children’s Resource Room – All kinds of activities and supplies for children and families to use during worship services.
• Media Room – Sets up and operates all sound, light, and audio equipment.
• Preschool Care – Provides safe, secure, and loving care for 0-3 year old’s during the Sunday worship.
• Worship – Plans and prepares for weekly Sunday worship experiences.

Witness Teams

• Greeters – Welcomes people to church and offers any needed guidance.
• Life Camp Afterschool – An afterschool program for K-5 thru 5th grade – planning to start in the fall of 2023.
