Ministries Suspended
As a result of the recommendations of the leadership at Bassett and the CDC, we will be suspending all services and ministries at CBC until further notice. As individuals, we also should be changing our activities to lessen our face to face connection with people and thus reduce the spread of the virus. The Scripture gives us help and hope for times like this in Col. 2:6-7 “So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.”
CBC Connection
Even though we are not able to connect in person - our ministry work and discipleship care will not stop. Instead, the leadership team at Community Bible Chapel is expanding our efforts to connect with you digitally with regular encouraging content. Look for Daily Connections via email, on Facebook, YouTube and our website to continue to grow in Him.
Life
Life is everything that happens from birth to death. Each one is unique and a gift from our Creator. Each one has the potential to bring glory to God by the transforming power of Christ or to remain entrenched in our sinful nature. There are many obstacles along the way that work to derail our purpose. Doing life well is hard. As a local body of Christ, we are here to equip each other to continue to strive towards the prize for which Christ Jesus has called us heavenward. That means sharing in joy, sorrow, discipline, discipleship, and growth with continual Hope towards Christ’s return. (John 1:4)
Hope
The Gospel is the ultimate source in a world that cries for hope. We are called to be that city on a hill that shines the light of Christ into a desperate world. Our sin paints a destitute picture that only Christ’s death and resurrection can change. As each of us deepens our relationship with Christ, we shine that hope into our marriages, families, relationships, communities and our world as we proclaim the name of Jesus. (1 Peter 1:3)
Grace
Grace is central in the Gospel. Grace is being given something we do not deserve. At CBC, we seek to live by the Gospel of grace in two ways. First, we enter into relationship with God by His abundant grace, through faith in Jesus. The result of God’s grace is the forgiveness we all need (Eph. 2:8). Secondly, since we have been given God’s grace, we strive to live by, and extend that same grace in our relationships with each other. Grace is the call of God’s church as we extend His grace to all people, both in and outside the church. (Eph. 5:1-2)
