Mission
The mission of BTGUM is to engage the culture in such a way, that anyone who comes in contact with it or its members will be loved, served, and saved. This will be accomplished by:
- Teaching and applying practical Biblical training and discipleship to its members.
- Being intentional about serving the world around us through community projects, events, and performances.
- Making the wonder and saving grace of the Gospel plain to those we come in contact with when given the opportunity.
