The mission statement of PBF is...

"We exist to glorify God by winning college-aged students to Christ and equipping them to become more faithful disciples."

This statement includes two actions fundamental to Christians across the globe. These actions are evangelism and discipleship. In PBF, we prioritize on-campus evangelism to share the light that we have been given. Additionally, we seek to build up the body of Christ by discipling one another thorough mentorship, peer accountability, small groups, and hearing the word of God be preached regularly. Most importantly, we do all of these things with the sole intent on glorifying our Creator.
