Mission
Statement:
The mission of B.C. Tours is: Communicating Biblical Truth in
every area of life through tours of museums, zoos, and historical
sites.
Goals:
1. To establish biblically based tours in all major
museums, zoos and historical sites by 2012 and,
2. To develop training curriculum for teachers and
homeshool parents to enable them to conduct these tours for their
schools, churches and families.
Statement of
Faith:
- All scripture is God-breathed. The words of the sixty-six
books of the Bible were written by men of God moved by the
Holy Spirit. The whole Bible is without error in the original
manuscripts and therefore authoritative in all matters of
faith and practice (2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:20-21).
- God eternally exists in three persons, the Father, the Son,
and the Holy Spirit, and these three are the one God (Matthew
28:18-19, Deuteronomy 6:4).
- Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin,
Mary. He is the true God and true man (Luke 1:30-35, John
1:18, Hebrews 4:15).
- Man was originally created by God in His own image. Through
sin man fell and lost his spiritual life becoming dead in his
sin and subject to the power of Satan. Thus man is in need of
salvation (Genesis 1:27, 3:1-24, Ephesians 2:1-2).
- In response to man’s need, God the Father sent Jesus to
this world to make atonement for sin. His substitutionary
death on the cross and His bodily resurrection from the dead
provide the basis for salvation. His atonement is sufficient
for all, yet efficient only for those who believe (John
3:16-17, 1 Timothy 2:3-6, Mark 10:45).
- Salvation for man comes only by grace through faith in Jesus
and His provision on the cross. Since salvation is a gift from
God a believer is secure forever (Ephesians 2:8-10, Romans
11:29).
- The Holy Spirit indwells every believer at the time of
conversion. His baptism unites all believers to Christ in one
body. He is the believer’s source of power for all
acceptable worship and service (1 Corinthians 12:13, Ephesians
5:18:20, Ephesians 4: 7-16).
- It is God’s will for believers to live a holy life in
cooperation with the indwelling Holy Spirit while putting to
death the deeds of the flesh. God the Father does discipline
His children when they sin (1 Thessalonians 4:3, Romans 8:13,
Hebrews 12:4-11).
- The primary purpose in the life of the believer is to
glorify God in everything and to make Christ known to the
unbelieving world until His return (Colossians 3:23-24, 2
Corinthians 5:18-20, 1 Thess. 4:13-18).
