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.

Jamaica
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.
