Our Values

Authentic Relationships

Relationships are the backbone of our ministry—not just with others, but with God, yourself, and the rest of creation. Jesus led by being friends with people, and we believe He’s called us to do the same.

Unity

We believe diversity and unity go hand-in-hand. God created us all in his image—to be different, and to also be one. We believe His Church is much bigger than BASIC alone, and we welcome joining hands in all areas of life.

Leadership Development

God created us all with unique gifts and asks us to use them for His Kingdom! We prioritize offering opportunities for people to lead using their gifts—practicing the servant leadership Jesus called us into.

Compelling Worship

Whether through music, serving others, or using our gifts, we worship God because of all he’s done and will do for us. We seek to worship God through all parts of our lives in a way that is powerfully irresistible.

Ready to take a next step?

Life Groups, Serving at BASIC, Serving at Student Ministries, Serving on a Sunday, and more!

Join a Life Group

Life Groups are the backbone of this community—a small group of people that shares meals, reads the Bible, learns from each other, and just has FUN. Having these kinds of relationships is important for your faith, and we’d love to get you connected!

Sign up for a Life Group!

Serve at BASIC

A great way to serve with BASIC is to join a team. Whether you have a gift in being a welcoming smile at the front door, planning events, photography, prayer, musical worship, running slides / audio or something else, we have a team for you to serve on, and we’re confident you’ll help shape BASIC—and meet some great people too!

A unique short-term mission trip.

Since 2013, BASIC has partnered with the Caribbean Christian Centre for the Deaf (CCCD) in Jamaica in serving alongside those engaged in full time ministry in the country.

Each Spring Break, we travel to Jamaica to work on projects with our friends in Jamaica, learn from them, and build relationships with the students and staff at the schools.
