History
Berean was founded by several Mennonite families, but it was organized independently of any particular church. Berean's original bylaws included a couple of items that were distinctively Mennonite but revised bylaws were adopted in the 1960s which removed those sectarian views. Today, Berean's bylaws establish the school as independent and interdenominational. The current student body represents about thirty churches from several evangelical denominations.
