BCC's first two Core Values, "Centered in the Gospel" and "Grounded in Scripture," serve as the foundation which upon which the final three, "Faithful in Worship, Authentic in Fellowship, and Radical In Mission," are built. Together, BCC's Core values fuel the fellowship in the Holy Spirit Christ calls us to experience with one another in God's love (Philippians 2:1-2), which in turn enables us to accomplish our Mission "To Make Disciples Who Make Disciples."

In II Corinthians 14:11-14 Paul writes, "Finally, brothers, rejoice. Aim for restoration, comfort one another, agree with one another, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you. Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the saints greet you. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all."

Fellowship in the Holy Spirit is far different from the normal give-and-take of typical human relationship because it is built upon the understanding that "The chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever" (from the Westminster Shorter Catechism). Our understanding of this is a key element in the disciple-making process.

Jesus’ life and ministry set the standard as one that pointed to and accomplished redemption, restoration, and reclamation. Christ’s final commission to his followers was to make disciples of all people, to baptize them in his name, and to be witnesses of what he had done in the immediate community and abroad.

As those who seek to uphold Christ’s commands, the local church—in the power of the Spirit—ought to faithfully engage the community with and bear witness to the good news of the gospel desiring to see the reconciliation of Christ transform the world in which we live. The call to know God through Christ is universal and it is the responsibility of every believer to proclaim the unaltered, uncompromised gospel.

God the Father, God the Son, and God the Spirit set the precedent for the fellowship we strive for as a community of faith. The Triune God is three distinct persons, but possess one unequivocally unified nature. We both recognize that those who comprise the local church are created in the image of God and therefore seek to reflect the divine unity of the Godhead, and also inhabit sinful flesh and must rely wholly on the Spirit of Christ to unite.

As God’s people, we are commanded to cultivate unity which requires a thorough investment in the lives of our Christian brothers and sisters as well as the life of the local church. As the body of Christ, we rejoice with those who rejoice, mourn with those who mourn, and spur on to greater godliness and holy living.

Consistently meeting together as the body of Christ is a biblical imperative. The corporate worship setting includes, but is not limited to, four important elements: worship through song, the reading of Scripture, prayer, and the preaching of God’s Word. This corporate environment prompts a deeper relationship with God and fellow believers through the exaltation of Christ by the people of God. The local church—as a microcosm of the universal Church and a shadow of the consummated Kingdom of God—is the chosen medium through which God’s people assemble together.

As those who are called to not forsake the meeting together, the corporate worship setting is a crucial aspect of the Christian life that cannot be ignored. Regularly and consistently engaging the body of Christ in corporate worship edifies, encourages, and builds up the body.
