To Be Determined

Our Mission

Energetically and continually help people increase SHALOM, a Hebrew word with this ancient meaning:SHALOM is a social environment where everything in life works the way it’s supposed to.Think of it as the ideal conditions for human flourishing.1. People's Lives Are Complete, Healthy, and WholeShalom means people have what they need — physically, emotionally, spiritually. No one is broken, abandoned, or left behind.2. Relationships Are Harmonious and Mutually BeneficialPeople treat each other with respect. They help each other. They don't exploit, manipulate, or dominate. Everyone's wellbeing strengthens everyone else's wellbeing.3. Homes Are Safe, Places Are Secure and RestfulFamilies live without fear. Communities feel stable. You can rest, sleep, and grow without threat or chaos.4. Members Are Loyal and Committed To Each OtherPeople stick together. They protect each other. They act with responsibility and faithfulness — not selfishness.In the teachings of Yeshua, the Jesus of history, Shalom is not optional. It is the legally defined "social reality" produced when "an individual take on the yoke of covenantal responsibilities to the Creator and to one another." The people who followed him had taken on that yoke.

What Our Community Says

"

BHC completely changed how I read Scripture. The depth of scholarship here is extraordinary — and the community makes it feel like a conversation, not a lecture.

I've been a pastor for 22 years and I still learn something new every time I attend a BHC webinar. The historical context they provide is invaluable.
