Setting Up Your Faith Profile

Your Faith Profile tells Berea about your theological background so the app can tailor its responses to your tradition. A Baptist and a Catholic will hear the same sermon very differently — Berea's summaries and interpretations should reflect that.

What the Faith Profile includes

• Denomination — Choose from 40+ denominations, from Baptist to Orthodox to non-denominational.
• Faith journey — A short conversation with the app that captures where you are spiritually — new believer, lifelong churchgoer, etc.
• Statement of Faith — Upload a PDF or paste text from your church's doctrinal statement to give Berea the most precise theological context possible.

How it affects the app

The Faith Profile influences several parts of Berea:

• Summaries use denominational language (e.g., "Communion" vs. "Eucharist").
• Interpretations of difficult passages are filtered through your tradition's theological lens.
• Cross-references draw on books and passages your tradition emphasizes.
• The Sermon Chat answers questions in a way consistent with your church's teaching.
