Fellow Bereans,

Although I had planned to shut down The Berean Test, several folks stepped up and asked to take over the site.  Which I appreciate!  Thank you to everyone who asked.  I have selected Chris Mellon to be your next reviewer.

Chris Mellon is a Worship Pastor in the mid-east states. He has been leading worship for 13 years and has a loving wife and children. After just receiving his M-Div, he was looking for a project to further serve the Lord. The Berean Test has been a blessing to him and his team as they have processed songs together and he is excited to carry on the website and prayerfully asks the Lord’s guidance as he manages this resource for so many. He appreciates your patience and understanding as he learns the site and possibly implements new procedures. To help him better understand how to serve the community, please consider sharing in the comments your favorite aspect of the site or what you might like to see change or remain the same.

You heard him folks!  Bring on the suggestions!

I also had just recently found the site only to find it was shutting down. I had been doing minor corrections/rewrites of hymns that lack or even contradict scripture for many years.

Just love all of your input. Such a blessing. I wouldn’t change a thing. We have a community group at our church called, Worship Unveiled and each week we take a worship song that we will sing on Sunday and discuss everything about that song. So, berean test has been such a great resource for us. God Bless You and keep it up!

Well I have been recommending this site to all who would listen since I found it.
the day before it was announced it was closing I had told my new pastors about it so I was devastated it was closing so Chris taking over is answered prayer. Thankyou
