Can you imagine if you had a pastor who threatened you as if he is the mediator between you and God, and yet, he likely isn’t even a believer himself?
Can you fathom being cut off from people you love like family (or even biological family) because you were honest with them about your views on jewelry not being a sin?
Can you believe a minister would tell someone who’s placed their faith in Christ that they’re reprobate and without hope?
•••
These are examples of the very real situations we encounter on a regular basis at Berean Holiness. Those who endure them often describe themselves as “confused,” “desperate,” and “alone.”
Unfortunately, it’s very rare to find a faith-based ministry serving this need—with not only content cross-examining the false teachings, but private support and community, as well. Finding it all for free and at scale adds to the challenge.
Those of us at Berean Holiness are honored to be one of the few nonprofits standing in this gap, but we (quite literally) couldn’t do it without you.
Last Giving Tuesday, we urgently needed another employee. Thanks to your generosity, over $30,000 came in (including matching gifts), and those funds made it possible to open a small, part-time position. We hired Ethan Greer and with his ministry experience (including experience supporting believers leaving cults in Japan), here’s what we accomplished:
In 2025, our team:
• relaunched community groups • wrote curriculum on finding/joining a healthy church (teacher’s notes, handouts) • debated a Holiness minister • published the “Accounts of Harm” page • exposed exploitation at a Holiness Bible School • hosted a 100-person event • responded to hundreds of people reaching out via DM and email • began offering private, multi-hour meetings to those in crisis as they leave hyper fundamentalism
Again, *you* made the above possible during Giving Tuesday fundraising in 2024!
Now it’s Giving Tuesday 2025.
In order to reach even more people with the biblical gospel in 2026, the most urgent need now is to expand Ethan’s position to full-time.
This will allow him to:
• write Bible studies specialized for those leaving hyper fundamentalism • double our community groups • develop public, video-based curriculum on how to find/join a healthy church • increase support calls for those in crisis, and • give me the margin to create new, in-depth content cross-examining cultish teachings
The cost of an additional 15 hours *every week* is roughly $1800 monthly or $21,600 annually (with taxes, fees, etc.).
For a limited time, ALL gifts are being DOUBLED (up to $2k) by matching donors. If you’re a first-time donor to Berean Holiness, your gift will be TRIPLED.
This Giving Tuesday, would you consider giving to increase free, faith-based support for those who are disentangling from hyper fundamentalism?
Monthly giving is especially appreciated, as it helps us plan for the future! Thank you so much for your support that has grown Berean Holiness this far. By covering the cost of support for those who are leaving hyper fundamentalism, you are changing lives; to God be the glory for the work He is doing through you. May the fruit increase to your credit.
Warmly, Natalie

“And you Philippians yourselves know that in the beginning of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church entered into partnership with me in giving and receiving, except you only. Even in Thessalonica you sent me help for my needs once and again. Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that increases to your credit.”
