[RileyG]

Is anyone familiar with this denomination? What do they teach/believe?

Never heard of it, but I'll look it up.

 

[RileyG]

Yeah, there's one not too far from where I live. Apparently, some are non-Trinitarian

Bereans - Wikipedia

Some groups among the Bible Student movement also adopted the name, such as the Berean Bible Students and the Berean Bible Institute. Churches and institutions who adopt the Berean name, usually do so in order to express their desire to reflect the attitude of the Bereans in Acts 17, committing themselves to "searching the scriptures daily".

so it's not a denomination of it's own perse

If they are non-Trinitarian then I would avoid that church.

Agreed. I am remaining Catholic. I was just curious to see what they taught

There are two very small denominations called Berean Bible Fellowship and Berean Bible Society. Both of these groups are similar to Baptists in doctrine, except for their peculiar interpretation of the New Testament which holds that mainly the teachings found in the Prison Epistles of the New Testament are binding on Christians. While they celebrate the Lord's Supper, they do not practice literal baptism.
Their beliefs on the Trinity, however, are in line with the basic creeds.

That is peculiar that they do not believe in water baptism. Such a thing was completely unheard of in the early church.
