Berean Light Ministries exist to reach out - evangelize; reach up - worship; and reach in to the lives of believers through discipleship training and comprehensive biblical teaching. The principles of Berean Light Ministries are grounded in the discipline of five-fold ministry with a special focus on the ministry of teaching.

We believe that Berean Light Ministries has been called to bring forth, through effective teaching and mentoring, a group of men and women to the forefront who will be instrumental in carrying out the Great Commission as stated in St. Matthew 28:19-20.

BLM has been successfull in reaching across denominational lines as it embraces all who desire sincere and inspirational worship through teaching.

Berean Light Ministries currently hosts an insightful, spirit-led Bible Study at 100 Brunswick Avenue, Emporia, VA.  The platform of Bible Study is structured line by line teaching that makes the Word practical to all and invokes each person “to search the scriptures.”   The dynamics of the atmosphere include an inviting arena with a climate created by the presence of the anointing and a hunger and thirst for the truth which makes men “free.”  The setting of BLM worship before teaching sessions encourages relaxation and sets the tone for a high level of expectation.  BLM welcomes any person who desires a intimate relationship with God.

Through the BLM teaching ministry Dr. Doretha and Elder Charlie Allen has answered the mandate to bring the body of Christ to perfection, train for ministerial work, and serve as stabilizers to those who desire to become rooted and grounded in the faith.

As visionaries, they recognize the opportunity to bring  definition to leadership and promote Godly standards.
