The
Berean Fellowship dates to 1932 when some Christians in North
Platte, NE began meeting together. Four years later they called a
pastor by the name of Dr. Ivan Olsen, a native of northern Michigan.
Having recently completed his studies at Denver Bible Institute, he
enthusiastically began serving the Lord at North Platte.
In towns near North Platte,
people who were yearning for Bible-based ministries in their own
communities began contacting Dr. Olsen to start Bible studies. Soon,
groups were meeting in several towns and eventually by 1947 a
Fellowship of Churches was born.
