A Brief History

Berachah Bible Church began in a Bible study in the fall of 1970. One of the contributing factors was the refusal of Bible believing churches in the Atlanta area to receive African Americans into their congregations. The founding pastor, Howard Dial, was teaching at Carver Bible College to train African Americans for ministry. It was his vision to establish a church where Bible exposition governed the life of the congregation and challenged the deficiencies of the culture.

The word “Berachah” means blessing. This name was given to a valley in Israel in celebration of a great victory God had given His people. It was in that place that the Lord God did wonderful things to provide for all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem (II Chronicles 20:26). It was the desire of the founding members to live up to its name by proclaiming the excellencies of God in word and in deeds.

A Vision Statement

The vision for Berachah is to offer a pulpit ministry that will provide spiritual nourishment through the preaching of the whole counsel of God, to exalt the redemptive work of Jesus Christ, to send its people out into their homes and neighborhoods alive with gospel witness, to gather on the Lord’s Day to worship with authentic zeal for God, to be a congregation filled with vibrant body life, to welcome people from all racial and ethnic groups, and to carry the light of the gospel of Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth.
