Our vision is a picture of what could be, and a desire that it should be. It is why we exist.  Knowing the vision is the first step to understanding BBC.

BBC’s vision is to create a God glorifying environment through Gospel renewal.  The Gospel first renews us as individuals, it recreates our relationships and it transforms the world around us.

We want to see Chicagoland and beyond become more and more a place where Jesus Christ is known, honored, and served.

Core Passions

All churches are driven by something.  Our Core Passions are the central values around which we unite as a church.

• The Gospel

  Because the Gospel changes everything.

  (Our central passion, from which the others flow)

  Christ loves me and gave himself up for me. Galatians 2:20

• The Bible

  Because the Bible is the source of our spirituality and truth.

  These are the scriptures that testify about me. [Jesus]  John 5:39

• The Church

  Because the Church is God’s new community, made possible by the Gospel.

  The church of God, which he bought with his own blood…  Acts 20:28

• Reaching Everyone

  Because the Gospel changes our attitude towards our city and our world.

  The love of Christ compels us.  2 Cor. 5:14

• Humility

  Because the Gospel gives us an honest view of ourselves.

  God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.  1 Peter 5:5

• Prayer

  Communion with the life giving Lord

  For this reason I bow my knees…  Ephesians 3:14

• Renewal

  Because the Gospel renews our everyday lives.

  (homes,  jobs, neighborhoods, education, politics, media and the arts)

  Whatever you do, work hard, as for the Lord and not for men.  Colossians 3:23
