About Us

Welcome to Berean! Berean is a vibrant, transgenerational church that celebrates lively, expressive contemporary worship, as well as hymns and traditional gospel.  Our praise and worship seeks to create an atmosphere where individuals are free to praise God or just sit quietly and meditate.  We also value plain Bible teaching, which is why Bible study is a regular part of our church’s ministry. Whether you are a visitor, someone who’s recently moved to Baton Rouge, or simply seeking to gain deeper insight into the Bible, please come fellowship and grow with us.

The Vision of Martin Luther King Jr. Christian Academy is to produce students who excel in faith, learning and service by delivering G.R.E.A.T. education that is God-centered, Results-oriented, in an Environment that is safe and nurturing, Aligned with Adventist and national standards, and a Team effort.

Our Philosophy is to meet the needs of the whole child.  We honor the natural cycle of learning. The natural cycle begins by connecting with the child’s experience, moving on to provide information and practice finally culminating with a celebration of new learning.  In keeping with the Seventh-day Adventists philosophy of encouraging students to be “thinkers and not mere reflectors of other men’s thoughts”, our teachers encourage students to use active-learning techniques (experiments, real-world problem solving) to expand their knowledge and enhance their understanding of the world. Dialogue and collaboration are crucial to the process. In our classrooms, children talk about what they are doing and reflect on how their understanding is changing.
