Mission:

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

Vision:

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.

Values:

Life as God Intended

We believe that changed lives are about Christ and His word. A relationship with Christ and his word of truth and love transforms life into a new order. My life is the means and God is the end. 

Born Again into Community

We believe that new life in Christ creates community with God and God’s family, the local church. They are intertwining realities that involve both: Intentionally deepening our communion with God through time in God’s word and prayer, private and public worship, AND; Intentionally deepening our communion with one another by imbedding our lives in relationship with a particular community of believers. 

Doing Church as a Team

We believe that new life in Christ supernaturally enables you to serve together with God’s family, intentionally maximizing your giftedness & calling to serve Christ’s cause. The intertwining realities of communion with God and God’s family also involves... Intentionally investing your gifts together with a particular community of believers…The ministry of the church is not about volunteers, but rather people called by God to invest in his eternal cause.

Becoming a Contagious Church

We believe that new life in Christ sends you into a lost world to intentionally cultivate relationships with those who are distant from Christ, sharing his good news in alignment with a contagious church. BEPs goal is that in cooperation with the work of the Holy Spirit, we would reach and retain one non-Christian per year for every ten Christians who are regular attenders.

Becoming a Praying Community

We believe that becoming and reaching a community is always God-sized, requiring humble and prayerful reliance upon God to grow a church of irresistible influence.
