About Us
Our Commitment
CCBC is committed to the worship of Almighty God. We do this by reaching our community with the Good News of the Gospel, by growing and serving in the likeness of His Son, Jesus, and by offering Him our hearts and our songs both publicly and privately.
We do what we do for His glory, and therefore try our best to do it with excellence. Of great importance to us is the care of children. From nursery care, to children's ministries, to youth programs and activities, CCBC is committed to providing the best and most relevant ministry available to all who attend.
We have chosen "A Loving Church" for our slogan for serious reasons. We sincerely hope the slogan reflects who are and what we do. We want you to be a part of what God is doing in our midst. Here at CCBC, you will:
* Worship the Lord in spirit and truth
* Get help to meet life's challenges in building a strong family
* Find opportunities to grow through studying the Bible and developing Christian friendships
* Discover God's purpose for your life in today's fast-paced society
* Experience, in many other ways, God's hope for your future
Our Beliefs
We affirm that:
* The Bible is inspired by God and is the only infallible and authoritative written Word of God.
* There is one God showing Himself in three persons; God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
* Jesus Christ is the only Son of God--virgin born, crucified, risen, ascended, and exalted.
* Salvation from sin is an unmerited, free gift from God that cannot be earned by good works or human goodness.
* Salvation is by faith alone in the substitutionary death of Christ on the cross.
* Salvation is offered to all men and the church is to take the Christian message to the entire world.
* Jesus Christ will return personally and visibly to the earth one day to rule in righteousness.
* Heaven is a place of eternal conscious blessedness prepared for the saved. Hell is a place of eternal conscious torment awaiting the lost.
God's Plan of Salvation - How To Become a Christian
A Christian is a follower of Jesus Christ. A Christian has a growing relationship with Jesus Christ, tries to obey Him in all things, and draws on His strength to help with problems.
God made us for himself and our souls are restless until thy find rest in Him. Only God can fill the void in your life. The answer to your search is accepting Jesus Christ as the Lord and Savior of your life. To become a Christian, you need to know these basic facts from the Bible:
1. God loves you. Because of God's love for all persons, He desires that you have unbroken fellowship with Him. (John 3:16; Ephesians 2:4-5)
2. You are a sinner. All persons are sinners in that they disobey God. Sin is choosing to go your own way and do your own thing as opposed to being obedient to God. (Isaiah 53:6; Romans 3:10)
3. Sin separates you from God. Sin forms a barrier that prevents you from entering into unbroken fellowship with God, Who is holy. As an unholy sinner, you can't have fellowship with God. You are headed for a Christless eternity that the Bible calls hell. (Isaiah 59:2; Romans 3:23)
4. You can't save yourself. People often think that through their efforts they can overcome the sin barrier between themselves and God. That isn't true. There's nothing you can do to restore the broken relationship with God. You can't earn God's salvation. (Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5; Romans 4:4-5)
5. God sent His Son Jesus to remove the sin barrier. The death on the cross of Jesus Christ, God's Son, removed the sin barrier between you and God. Jesus died for your sins, taking your punishments on Himself. God did for you in Jesus Christ what you couldn't do for yourself. (1 Peter 2:24; Romans 5:8; 2 Corinthians 5:21)
6. You can receive Jesus Christ through faith. Faith is trusting in what Jesus has done for you rather tan trusting your own efforts to restore fellowship with God. Faith is complete reliance on Christ to put you in right relationship with God, allowing Him to live His life through you. Faith also involves repentance or genuine sorrow for sin and willingness to turn away from sin. (John 14:6; Acts 16:31; Romans 10:9-10)
7. Through prayer you can trust Jesus Christ. Admit to God that you are a sinner. Express sorrow or repentance for your sinfulness. Ask Him to forgive your sins. Invite Jesus into your life as Savior and Lord. Thank Him for entering your life. Commit yourself to live for Him.
Accepting Christ is the beginning. After accepting Him, be obedient by following Christ in baptism and by uniting with a Church. When you do, you will find that life truly does have purpose and meaning. Talk with another Christian about your decision for Christ.
