Compelling Worship

We believe the BIC Core Values are integral to our corporate belief and practice.

To help us embrace these values in every aspect of congregational life, a team of pastors and artists have created Compelling Worship, a dynamic, intergenerational worship guide centered on our Core Values.

About

Compelling Worship promotes worship practices that reflect BIC values. The resource is designed for corporate worship settings and in adult, youth, and children’s ministry.

This free resource is available in two sections,
a downloadable workbook and digital exclusive resources:

Downloadable Workbook

Each BIC U.S. congregation received a print version of this workbook at the beginning of 2026, but this free resource is meant to be shared and reused!

Download the full PDF to print additional copies or share specific sections. Spanish version coming soon.

    The Book

    A worldwide pandemic, dynamic social shifts, the ongoing decline of the Western church, vast advances in technology – much has changed in the twenty years since Brethren in Christ U.S. first identified its ten core values.

    Considering such shifts, are these values merely slogans, or do they constitute guiding and orienting lights? In 30 forward-looking essays, global BIC leaders reflect on these questions in Compelling Convictions: Finding our Future in a Modern World (Herald Press, 2024).
