About Us

What We Believe

We believe God is the Creator of all persons, loves all persons, and desires that all be saved through faith in Jesus Christ.

We believe God calls us to share Jesus through word and action. We do so by providing a variety of opportunities for worship, Bible study, relationship building, disciple-making, partnerships with various Christian ministries, and hands-on ministry to “the least of these.”

We believe men and women may be called by God to undertake any activity or function in the life of the church.

We believe in the possibility of new beginnings for all persons, who are willing to place themselves in the hands of God and follow wherever God may lead.

We believe in the potential of the Church, the Body of Christ, to be a community of worship, healing, ministry, fellowship, and service that brings honor to God and makes a difference for good in God’s world.

We believe we need partners. To that end, we voluntarily work with a variety of local, regional and national organizations to share the gospel, prepare the next generation of ministers and congregational leadership, and meet human need.

We invite you to come and see for yourself how CBCFC attempts to translate its beliefs into a lifestyle!
