Our Vision

Stimulate
We refuse to take ourselves too seriously. We understand we are but one of thousands of Christian organizations committed to the task. Our responsibility is to team with the church. We are called to stimulate evangelism with our resources. We are not primarily an "evangelizing" organization, though a portion of our efforts is in active evangelism activity. Basically, however, we stimulate the task through offering our resources of scholarship, leadership training, and strategic partnership.

Global
Our field is the world. We are aware that Christ loves the whole world and gave himself for it. We will not limit efforts to one nation or people group. We will pray and work to bring Christ to the city, the suburbs, and to the rural regions of our world. We are aware that the world lives not only across the sea, but across the street. We believe one of the most difficult issues facing the twenty-first century church is how to engage the vast cultures of the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Evangelism
The mission of the church is broader than evangelism, but we believe it can never be less. While the mission of the church includes issues of evangelism, compassion, development, and justice, the Billy Graham Center is called to a sharp uncompromising focus on the evangelistic dimension. At least 50 percent of our direct efforts will deal with the evangelism mandate. Secondarily, we will support broader missional directives.

Our Strategic goals

We can't do everything. Good leadership requires knowing what you are called to do and what you are not to do. We believe God has given us four strategic goals, and we are committed to focusing our energies in these areas to the exclusion of many other "good" things:

TRAIN leaders.

TEAM with the church.

THINK the mission.

TELL the story.
