We pray, advocate, labor with and contend for a God-honoring vision of our city as it is meant to be: a place of peace, dignity, mutuality, relationship, prosperity and opportunity for all people. The mission of Jesus is the restoration of all of creation to the Father through faith. Thus, all our efforts, initiatives and programs seek to make Jesus and His Word known. We’re most interested in building relationships that ignite hunger and thirst in people to know and embrace the purpose for their lives in Christ Jesus. Some of BHITC’s efforts are more direct in these efforts, others are subtle. This mix of approaches is intentional and strategic.
