BEREA (CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP GROUP)

Master-in-Charge: Dr Chris Thanopoulos

Berea is a Co-curricular Activity that focuses on Christian leadership training, and is a place where boys apply the skills learnt by experiencing Christian leadership. The name “Berea” derives from a reference in the Book of Acts about a group of Christians in a town named Berea:

As soon as it was night, the brothers sent Paul and Silas away to Berea. On arriving there, they went to the Jewish synagogue. Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. (Acts 17:10-11).

The Bereans were noted for receiving the message with great eagerness and examining the scriptures, two characteristics that are worthy to emulate in a group focusing on Christian leadership.

Meeting Details:
Berea involves a weekly training/planning meeting over breakfast on Wednesday at 7.45am in the Dining Hall.  Also, boys help to run lunchtime fellowship meetings for either the Senior, Middle or Junior School.  During Terms I and II, Berea attends ABLE.  ABLE is a Christian leaders training event held by Crusaders at St. Andrew’s House, Town Hall, three afternoons each term from 4.00pm to 6.00pm.
