"At CBC, we are passionate about the mission and vision the Lord has given us. Since we opened our doors in 1990, our purpose has been to “reach, teach and help people in Jesus’ name.” We stand by it because of the vision Jesus gave us in the Great Commission: – “Go into all the world making disciples and baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit” – and in the Greatest Commandment –“ Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and strength and your neighbor as yourself.”
In our house, we initiate and celebrate life change in Jesus’ name. We do this by:
Reaching — investing in people and inviting others to join our family
Teaching — participating in small groups and maturing in our faith
Helping — ministering to others by serving within our walls
Going — joining in the Great Commission by taking the gospel to the world through local, national and international missions
By providing opportunities for members to mature, minister, and go on mission, we help the Church live with eternal purpose. Join us in taking the gospel to the whole world!"
