The values of the Biblical Church of Brazil are based on the Holy Scriptures. These are:

 

1. Seriousness.

 

the church must  be careful in your duties, evangelizing the world, making disciples of all nations until Christ returns and impacting  the world with good works  (Mt. 5:13-16; 28:19, 20; Mk. 16:15).

 

2. Loyalty.

 

The church must be faithful to Scripture, submitting itself entirely to it as inspired by God and infallible (2 Tim. 3:16), preaching Scripture without error, without impure motives, with no intention to deceive and please men, ( 1 Thess. 2:3-5), without distorting the Word of God (2 Cor. 4:2), and without trading the Scriptures for profit (2 Cor. 2:17), encouraging the members and speaking according to sound doctrine (Tit. 1:9; 2.1; 1 Pet. 4.11).

 

3. Piety.

 

The church is to be godly, loving God above all else (Mt. 22:37, 38), and respecting all that is sacred in God's eyes (1 Tim. 4:7, 8; Heb. 12:28; 2 Pet. 1:5-8). ; 3.11).

 

4. Holiness.

 

The church must be holy, for God is holy and demands holiness (1 Pet. 1:15, 16; 1 Thess. 4:4-8), and without holiness no one will see God (Heb. 12:14).

 

5. Fraternity.

 

The church is to be united through faith (Acts 2:44; Eph. 4:13) and love (Jn. 13:34, 35; Rom. 12:10; 1 Thess. 4:9; Heb. 13:1; 1 Pet. 3:8).

 

6. Solidarity.

 

The church is to be helpful, where all members cooperate with one another for mutual edification (1 Cor. 12:4-31; 14:26; Rom. 12:4-8; 1 Pet. 4:10, 11).

 

7. Impartiality.

 

The church must judge all issues that arise in its midst (1 Cor. 5:12; 6:1-5), according to the principles that Scripture clearly and specifically presents for each context (Mt. 18:15-17), examining and judging accusations. confirmed by two or three witnesses (Deut. 19:15; Mt. 18:16; 2 Cor. 13:1; 1 Tim. 5:19), lovingly rebuking the sinful member, for the purpose of correcting and restoring him (Mt. 18:15; Gal. 6:1; Jas. 5:20), excluding unrepentant members to prevent sin from spreading by influencing other members, as well as protecting the purity of the church and the honor of Christ (1 Cor. 5:1-13), rebuking sinful pastors in the presence of his colleagues in the ministry, so that the others also fear (1 Tim.5.20), and showing no complicity with the  sin within the church and in the ministry (1 Cor. 5:1-5, 13; Rev. 2:14, 15, 20).

 

8. Integrity.

 

The church must be led by leaders who have a holy, righteous, and blameless conduct (1 Thess. 2:10; 1 Tim. 3:1-6).
