OUR MISSION

WE, AS A COMMUNITY OF SPIRIT-FILLED BELIEVERS, COMMIT TO EXALT GOD, TO EVANGELIZE THE LOST, AND TO EDIFY AND EQUIP THE CHURCH FOR MINISTRY.

• We exalt the Lord through our service to Him, seeking to be instruments of His will and purpose.

TO EVANGELIZE: BFC mobilizes every believer to present the gospel in the power of the Holy Spirit to the unsaved.

• We challenge one another to recognize the need for sharing the message of the Gospel and to understand our personal responsibility in meeting that need.

• We train one another in the specific skills needed to effectively witness.

• We seek out and develop opportunities for a hands-on involvement in presenting the Gospel to others.

TO EDIFY:  BFC builds a Biblical community of believers, serving and building up one another in Christ-like relationship.

• We love, accept and encourage all within our fellowship without regard to social, economic or cultural distinctions.

• We motivate each other to develop Christ-likeness in our daily living.

• We care for and share with one another in times of need.

• We build relationships that strengthen each of us, recognizing that we are the body of Christ fitly joined together.

TO EQUIP:  BFC develops its members into mature believers, leading them to discover spiritual gifts and calling, and deploys them as skillful ministers of God’s grace.

• We preach and teach the Word of God.

• We help each other discover our individual interests, gifts and abilities and train one another to effectively minister in our specific areas of gifting.

• We seek out and develop meaningful opportunities for involvement in ministry.

• Follow-through and continual improvement are a part of all that we do, as we seek to grow in our walk with Christ
