WHAT’S SO SPECIAL ABOUT CSBC?

Nothing! Absolutely nothing! If you are looking for a perfect church then you are going to be very disappointed with us. At CSBC you’ll find real people, with real problems, who live real lives, and are all learning to love a real God whose grace is more than enough for all our needs.

You see, at CSBC we don’t need to cling to our own “special-ness” or “goodness” because of the cross of Jesus Christ. At His cross we find that none are really “good” at all. In fact, at Jesus’ cross we discover that we are unquestionably guilty and yet can be unconditionally forgiven.

At the cross we learn that Christ does NOT want to condemn us in our sins but to save us from them. At the cross we find that God receives us just where we are but He loves us enough not to leave us there. God can and will change lives. He is changing us and can change you as well.

We celebrate Him - not us! Here at CSBC there are only people. People like me. People like you. People like us. People who desperately need God’s grace. Everyone is welcome to come and receive that grace. We invite you to join us on this life-changing journey.

JOIN US LIVE

Sundays are just the beginning.

No matter your stage of life, there’s always a next step for growing your faith and finding community. We want to help you get involved! Groups are a big deal at CSBC. We believe the Great Commission is meant to be carried out by the local church as we live our lives in community with one another. All Christian fellowship should be founded on a common desire to stir one another up to love and good works, entering into a partnership in the gospel.

KEEP IT SIMPLE

We believe simple is better, so we do four fundamental practices here at CSBC.

1. WORSHIP GATHERINGS

Sundays we gather together to encounter God - through His word and through His presence. Worship is where we meet with God, teach His Word, and minister to each other.

2. SMALL GROUPS

Small groups are three or more people who meet together regularly to pray and discuss scripture together, specifically: 1. What does it say about God. 2. What does it say about people? 3. How does it point us to the Gospel?

3. SERVING TEAMS

Serving teams serve together under one of five deacon spheres (Finance, Facilities, Community, Worship Gatherings, and Outreach). Here is where you can use your gifts to make a difference in the lives of others, both in our church and our community.

4. TRANSFORMATION

God’s presence (Spirit) is what transforms us. So we intentionally structure each of our gatherings to be centered around Jesus and The Gospel [The Good News], so we grow to become more like Him .
