Home / About Brunstad Christian Church / Objectives and Values

The objectives are based on the Great Commission in the Gospel of Matthew 28:18–20.


And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, ‘All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations: Baptize them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teach them to observe all that I have commanded you. and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.’ (Matthew 28:18-20 NKJV)

Our objectives

The Constitution of the BCC Federation describes its objectives, which are to:perspectives.

  • Promote the Christian faith as expressed in our Statement of Faith among all people and teach them to keep all that Jesus has commanded.
  • Further the working conditions for Christianity and its standing in society.
  • Provide children and young people with a positive and healthy Christian environment, and create good working conditions for children and young people’s personal, spiritual, and social development.

Our values

Love

Love is at the heart of Christianity. Jesus said: Jesus said, “… inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.” (Matthew 25:40 NKJV)Showing charity, care and generosity towards each person with their different circumstances and life situations is therefore to love Jesus with the same love with which He has loved us. When love for Him becomes an inner driving force, this goodness will be felt by all people.

Respect

As a Christian church, BCC fully respects the human right to make personal choices in accordance with the rights established by society, for example with regard to religious and political freedom, sexual orientation, and family life.

The believer’s attitudes and behavior should reflect that all people are treated with respect and esteem, regardless of their faith or beliefs.

Righteousness

As a Christian, it should go without saying that you are righteous in money matters and follow the laws of the land. This is the starting point for the deeper righteousness, where you recognize your starting point as a selfish human being and through the cross of Christ can refuse evil thoughts and deeds. In this way, the good can grow in us, which is to the best for ourselves, our neighbor, and society.

Faithfulness

Faithfulness is shown through our relationship with God, but is also reflected in our interpersonal relationships and commitments. As believers, we always seek to ensure that these are in harmony with God’s word. Determination and perseverance in the faith are highly valued in BCC, because it leads people into a life of growth and development.
