Vision
The vision of BCCB is to creatively implement the Great Commission
to build a growing community of churches around the perimeter
of Bacolod city by establishing relevant churches every 3
years that are committed to dynamic worship of God while extending
His transforming grace to reach the unchurched community.
At
BCCB it is our desire that you catch the vision God has given
us, that you begin to visualize. We have worked hard at defining
our vision so that it is clear, challenging, and concise,
it is our desire that you clearly see the future of the ministry-
what it can be and what it must be But most importantly, we
want you to capture the concept of our vision so that it will
capture you and provide a foundation for our personal ministry
with us at BCCB. (2005 Vision Casting)

CREATIVELY IMPLEMENT THE GREAT COMMISSION
Jesus summarized his purpose for being on earth in Luke 19:10.
He said, “For the son of man is come to seek and to
save that which was lost.” In his final instructions
he made the purposes of the church clear. “ Go and make
disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father and of the son and of the Holy spirit, and teaching
them to obey everything I have commanded you.” (Matt.
28:19-20). Therefore, our vision includes pursuing the lost
in the most culturally relevant format. This includes implementing
Christ’s commission on both an innovative and creative
manner to the unchurched of our community.
·
BUILD A GROWING COMMUNITY OF CHURCHES
Unchurched people are nine times more likely to come to a
new church rather than a older, established church. (Christianity
Today). We feel that the best means of impacting our area
with the transforming message of Christ is to plant culturally
relevant churches, like BCCB, around our community. For us,
this means starting a new satellite church every 3 years in
strategic locations so as to build a perimeter of churches
around the city.
·
COMMITTED TO DYNAMIC WORSHIP
Because our vision is to extend the transforming grace of
Jesus Christ, we believe that the most fundamental relationship
people can have is an active, living relationship with God
through Jesus Christ His son (John 10:10, Romans 6:23).
·
EXTENDING HIS TRANSFORMING GRACE
By the grace of God, the city of Bacolod will be a changed
community in 10 to 15 years , due to the influence of the
Spirit of God through the lives of or people who are devoted
to extending the transforming grace of Jesus Christ. It is
our vision that the members of BCCB will take Christ into
homes, marketplaces, political arenas and educational settings.
·
REACH THE UNCHURCHED
Finally, our vision includes the intentional pursuit of reaching
those who have stopped attending, or have never attended a
church. In other words, those who have not experienced God’s
transforming grace.
