1. Complete Confidence in Biblical Authority. We have an inerrant, authoritative guide for faith and practice in the Bible, the Word of God
(2 Tim. 3:16-17). Therefore, we highly value expository preaching and teaching, and personal Bible study. We believe the ministry of the Word is the catalyst for spiritual transformation and spiritual growth. At BBC we use only the KJV Bible.

2. Community Matters to God, and therefore to us. We recognize the eternal value of every individual. We highly value ministry to the sick, the aged, youth, children, and others with special needs. Because people are lost in sin without a personal relationship with Christ, we highly value evangelism and the proclamation of the Gospel (Matt. 28:19-20; Acts 1:8). We also value supporting local and world mission causes. We value meeting spiritual, social, and physical needs through the ministries of the Word, intercessory prayer, giving, and personal contact.

3. Carefully Chosen Servant Leadership. We value and seek to elect leaders who live godly lives, and who lead by example, not just by words (Phil. 3:17; 1 Tim. 3:10, 4:12). We value leaders who do not use their office selfishly, or in a domineering manner, but as a means of serving others (Matt. 20:28; 1 Peter 5:3). We value pastors, deacons, and other leaders who are accessible to those who have need for ministry. We value leaders who manifest spiritual gifts that enable them to lead and serve effectively.

4. Consistent Application of the Bible to Daily Living (James 1:22). Becoming a Christian and spiritual growth should result in moral and godly living, which we highly value (Romans 12:1-2). We value the application of biblical teaching to the family, the most basic unit of church and society. We value the sanctity of marriage and the unborn, and the nurture and preservation of the family.

5. Christ Centered Worship. We highly value regular worship and praise to the Lord. At BBC we point folks to the cross through preaching and singing. We are traditional in both our preaching and singing. We stress man's need of Christ, as well as the Christian's need to live and serve God. Our focus must be on Jesus Christ! Our focus is not on performance, but on a Person, that is Jesus Christ. Our worship services are about what Christ has done for us, not about what we do for Him. It is about exalting the excellencies of Christ’s work on the cross, He is our primary focus.

6. Camaraderie & Love for Others. Christian fellowship is essential for spiritual growth and social health (Acts 2:42). Expressing Christian love is vital to good fellowship and is our highest obligation next to loving God (Matt. 22:37-39). We value small group ministry as one of the best means of promoting fellowship on a deeper level. One aspect of fellowship that we value is Christian unity, which we pledge to maintain as long as doing so does not violate our core beliefs and values (Eph. 4:3-6). We value forgiveness as essential for preserving unity and fellowship (Eph. 4:32; Col. 3:13).

7. Christian Service. All believers are to be equipped by pastors and others for service & ministry to others (Eph. 4:12). All believers are gifted for ministry (I Peter 4:12). Therefore, we value lay involvement in the ministry of the church.
