Mission and Vision
Our Mission
The mission of BBC is the same mission that Jesus gave to his church in Matthew 28:19–20:
“Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
In other words, BBC exists to make more and more devoted disciples of Jesus.
- More and More Disciples. Calling people everywhere to repent of their sins and believe in the crucified, buried, and risen Jesus, receiving his forgiveness and embarking on a new life as his disciple.
- More and More Devoted. Committing to embrace more fully the pattern of life Jesus calls his followers to imitate.
Our Vision
The vision of BBC is the same vision that John recorded for the church in Revelation 7:9–10:
After this I looked, and there was a vast multitude from every nation, tribe, people, and language, which no one could number, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were clothed in white robes with palm branches in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation belongs to our God, who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb!”
In other words, BBC aims to see people everywhere worshiping Jesus for his gift of salvation by his death on the cross.
Discipleship
Four simple words summarize the path of discipleship described in the mission and vision given to us in Scripture: Gather. Grow. Serve. Go.
- Gather. We commit to gathering as a church, uniting for the purpose of carrying out our mission.
- Grow. We commit to maturing as disciples by becoming like Jesus and obeying his commands.
- Serve. We commit to using our time, talents, and treasures to minister both within our community and beyond.
- Go. We commit to bringing Jesus’s call to repent, believe, and become his disciples to all the world.
