COVID-19 INFORMATION:

There are Three Important Ways to Slow the Spread

• Wear a mask to protect yourself and others and stop the spread of COVID-19.
• Stay at least 6 ft (about 2 arm lengths) from others who don’t live with you.
• Avoid crowds. The more people you are in contact with, the more likely you are to be exposed to COVID-19.

COVID-19 is NOT OVER!!! Don't take the risk of getting very sick.

Please remember that even now, the church relies on your help to finish the work of the gospel in all the world as we are commissioned to do. (Matthew 28:18-20)

FROM THE PASTOR'S DESK... 

Started in the late 1920’s as a mission, this 100 year old congregation,  the Berea SDA Church (NY) located at 67 South Broadway in Nyack  has grown, through much prayer and hard work. Even now, almost 100 years later, God’s work in this community continued.  We invite you to join our family each Sabbath as we learn together- more about our Creator and Savior.

We are a faith based community rooted in the beliefs described by the Holy Scriptures. Growing out of scriptures that paint a compelling portrait of God, you are invited to explore, experience and know the One who desires to make us all whole-Our Lord Jesus Christ.
