Berivoi Fellowship

Worship in English. Grow in faith. Share life with purpose.

We are forming a community for worship, Bible study, prayer, and shared Christian life. Young adults—18–30 and beyond—are at the center of Berivoi Fellowship, while other residents, local people, and visitors are welcome.

People come to Berivoi from different countries to volunteer, learn practical skills, spend time in nature, and find direction for their lives. Our desire is to seek God together through these different seasons, whether you are here for a short stay or putting down roots.

Different countries. A shared language.

English is the shared-language direction for the Fellowship. It helps international visitors understand the message, follow a Bible study, ask questions, pray, sing, and participate. Local Romanian residents are part of this welcome too.

You do not need to know all the answers or already be an Adventist. Come with an open Bible, honest questions, and a willingness to learn. We want faith to be something we understand and live, not simply information we collect.

The way we share life

Calm, Clean, and Kind

We value a peaceful setting where people can hear, think, ask questions, and give one another their attention.

Calm

Keep noise low during worship and study, silence phones, and take side conversations outside the gathering. Make room for others to listen and contribute.

Clean

Look after the shared spaces, clean up after yourself, and leave things ready for the next person.

Kind

Speak respectfully, listen patiently, and help one another. Honest questions are welcome; mocking, harshness, and intimidation are not.

Belong & contribute

A place to belong—and contribute

Our desire is to know God more deeply and help one another live what we believe. Worship, thoughtful Bible discussion, prayer, practical service, and the encouragement of fellow believers are part of growing together. As Seventh-day Adventists, we look forward to Christ’s return and take seriously the call to prepare our hearts while sharing His love and truth with others.

We want more than a weekly gathering. We want to know one another, pray for one another, and make room for each person to contribute. Those exploring baptism can ask about Bible study and pastoral preparation, with continued encouragement as they grow in Christian life.

Room to pause

A place to seek God together

Berivoi’s natural surroundings are part of the welcome: room to pause, thoughtful conversation, and time together away from the noise of everyday life. The setting supports the purpose; the heart of the fellowship is seeking God and putting His Word into practice.

Church relationship

Our connection with Făgăraș Church
