BEP mission & vision

Becoming a Community of Disciple-Making Disciples: Reaching a Community, Local & Global, with Christ’s Truth and Love

  • Pouring our lives into a few others by the Word & prayer that they may grow in Christ and know Christ
  • Committed to disciple-making beginning with our children and youth learning the gospel and the implications of following Jesus in all of life. Personally and corporately sharing the gospel with others in word and deed
  • Equipped to feed ourselves with God’s word, applying it in obedience, sharing it with others. Providing outreach friendly events & ministries to which unbelieving friends can be invited
  • Sharing our lives in mercy-giving, burden-bearing, mutually encouraging, Christ-centered care as a genuine fellowship of the saints. Engaging real needs in our community such that our absence would be missed by the community
  • Using our gifts in ministry. Growing a global minded mission’s outreach that is part of our community identity
  • Sending folks from our church family to serve Christ in other cultures

A Disciple-Making Community is a Worshipping Community –

In treasuring the glory of God whose blazing center is Christ, we joyfully devote our lives to God and one another


A Missional Community is a Worshipping Community –

Out of the joy of our salvation, we share Christ personally and corporately, locally and globally, in word and deed


Prayer

As a people who make much of God in worship, we will persistently pursue Him in faith-filled prayer, that the Father would glorify the Son through the work of the Spirit bearing this fruit among us and through us.

  • We believe in the Holy Trinity. There is one God, who exists eternally in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
  • We believe that all are sinners and totally unable to save themselves from God’s displeasure, except by His mercy.
  • We believe that salvation is by God alone as He sovereignly chooses those He will save.

The PCA has made a firm commitment on the doctrinal standards which had been significant in presbyterianism since 1645, namely the Westminster Confession of Faith, the Westminster Shorter Catechism, and the Westminster Larger Catechism.  Among the distinctive doctrines of the Westminster Standards and of Reformed tradition is the unique authority of the Bible as the inspired word of God. The Reformers based all of their claims on sola scriptura (Scripture alone is the highest authority).
