BIBLICAL CONFERENCE

Mission, Vision, Values and Objectives:

Below you will find the mission, vision, core values, and objectives that are part of Biblical Conference’s strategic plan.

Mission Statement

Biblical Conference exists to unite, strengthen and equip the individual to follow Jesus.

Vision Statement

Biblical Conferences must be special times in the life of individuals.

  • It should be to bring or revive commitment to Jesus;

  • that glorify God in excellent worship, work and fellowship;

  • that value substance and depth of faith over politics;

  • that encourage one another and build the community;

  • that call, nurture and thank denominational leadership;

  • that provide memorable, safe and joyful experiences for the whole family;

  • that involve and challenge all of our congregations in the New Testament model;

  • that maximize technology for the glory of God;

  • that value the past while looking forward;

  • where we have enough quality time, well spent.

Core Values

We believe that Jesus is the head of the Church. As part of the larger Body of Jesus Christ, the Church of the Brethren has a unique ministry to the world. 

  • The Lordship of Jesus Christ
    All that we do is because Jesus Christ is Lord. We focus upon Jesus. We find discernment and truth in Jesus. Scriptural basis can be found in Mark 9:7, Ephesians 1:22-23, Colossians 1:15-20 and Hebrews 12:2-3.

  • Worship
    As a community of faith, worship is the primary means of expressing our love for God in Jesus Christ. We worship because God is. We believe we are to love the Lord our God with every fiber of our being. Biblical Conference values worship and will provide rich and full opportunities to do so every time we gather. Biblical instruction to do so comes from Mark 12:28-31, John 4:21-24 and Revelation 4:9-11.

  • Unity
    As we intercede together under the lordship of Jesus Christ, true unity can be found. All that could possibly separate us is laid aside, in order that we might be one. Unity comes through our expression of love for Jesus Christ and our devotion to him, as clearly seen in John 17:22-23 and Ephesians 4:1-13.

  • The New Testament as our rule of faith and practice
    Though all of the Bible is God’s inspired word, we believe that the New Testament fully reveals God’s will in Jesus Christ — through His ministry, death, resurrection and ascension into the heavenly places. The New Testament confirmation of this is found in 2 Timothy 3:16-17 and Hebrews 8:7-13.

  • Relationships
    Unity is found not only in worship of God but through building loving relationships with one another, despite any differences we may have. We are called to love and respect each other. This happens as we look to the relational model Jesus gave us, take the time to know each other, worship and pray together, and extend God’s grace and love, as revealed in John 15:17 and Romans 12:8-13.

  • Identity

A variety of faith experiences

A full spectrum of worship, prayer, business, learning, discerning and fellowshipping is valued and experienced, by all age groups within the church. Abundant life in Jesus Christ is developed through this variety, as God has the opportunity to shine the light upon us in many ways, in different settings. Quality and excellence is valued in all of these varied experiences. It is a time and place for the whole family to have fun, grow together and be strengthened in faith. See scriptural examples in Acts 16:31-34 and Romans 14:1-8.

Objectives to Achieve Our Vision

  • Develop intentional community in the Biblical Conference experience.

  • Foster Christian spirituality and affirm it.

  • Combine the broadest possible welcome with the strongest possible commitment to following Jesus.

  • Develop a relational discernment style that is open to others of different cultures.

  •  

  • Develop effective intercessor for God's kingdom
