Due to constantly growing challenges and requests from the world field, and working with a limited staff, an Ethics Committee was established that will assist the Biblical Research Institute regarding ethical issues and questions. The committee has a status similar to that of BRICOM (the Biblical Research Institute Committee). It takes on an advisory role but is much smaller in membership than BRICOM.

It will identify ethical issues of importance to the world church in the areas of pastoral experience and leadership, and ecclesiastical administration, discuss ethical issues referred to it by BRI and make recommendations, prepare documents that will provide ethical guidance to church leaders and pastors, and work with BRI in initiating and organizing seminars, and participate in Bible Conferences, with the purpose of promoting biblically grounded moral values and raising awareness of their implications. The committee will be chaired by Ekkehardt Mueller.
