Our
Values
Seven Characteristics of BGC Churches |
| For
more than 120 years, the people of the Baptist General Conference have met in
annual meetings. That's a lot of meetings. Times
have changed and so have we since that first meeting of delegates from 65 churches.
Over 120 years of change begs the question: What is it that unites us as a fellowship?
What is the glue that keeps our nearly 900 churches from splintering into factions
or even new denominations, churches from 19 different ethnic groups in diverse
settings, with varied styles of worship and leadership? What
is it that makes the Baptist General Conference who and what we are? It is our
core values...those underlying beliefs that guide our choices, commitments and
actions. Following
are seven shared values that define who we are as a member of BGC churches. |
| |  | Our
first shared value is that we have personally and cooperatively devoted ourselves
to do everything in our power to bring glory to God. |
| | | Second,
we are people of the Word. |
|
| | Third,
our predecessors were marked by incessant evangelism, discipling and baptizing
lost people. |
|
| | Fourth,
we work to practice a peaceable spirit. |
| | | Fifth,
we are committed to training godly pastors and leaders. |
| | | Sixth,
we are committed to reaching the lost overseas |
| | | Finally,
we are an ethnically diverse people. |
