BELIEF VALUES
These belief values arise from our relationship with God, His Word and the environment we live in:
FAMILY AND COMMUNITY
People, relationships and love matter.
INTIMACY WITH GOD
Intimacy with God is a constant walk of faith.
SUSTAINABILITY
Maximization of the College’s physical and human resources in a
way that is physically, socially and economically sustainable.
THE WISDOM OF THE BIBLE
Scripture is our reference for all aspects of life.
COLLEGE VALUES
The College’s motto is
"CHARACTER, WISDOM AND DISCIPLINE
FOR TOMORROW'S LEADERS"
The BCC CARE values are a simple way for students, staff and families to relate to the
culture of the College. These values describe both how staff and students conduct themselves
as members of the College, and the qualities of character that are believed necessary for each
student when they leave our College to participate in complex life roles.
COURTESY
I respect others. “In everything, do to others what you would have them do to you.” (Matthew 7:12)
ATTITUDE
I can do it. “I can do everything through Christ who gives me strength.” (Philippians 4:13)
RESILIENCE
I can overcome. “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Deuteronomy 31:6)
EXCELLENCE
I do my best. “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.”
(Colossians 3:23)
