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.
OUR MISSION AND VISION
IN CHRIST | ON MISSION | TOGETHER
Desiring to be part of a disciple making movement here in the Mid-Coast of Maine that touches and transforms lives, families, and communities with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, we commit ourselves to the making of disciples who are ever growing in their identity in Christ, their investment in His church, and their involvement in God’s mission of reconciliation.
OUR KIDS
SAFE | FORMATIVE | FUN
We believe that what happens at home is more important than what happens at church. It is our hope that we can partner with you from the very beginning. We want to be your biggest fans, your strongest supporters, and your trusted guides as you raise your child to know what it means to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
SMALL GROUPS
GROW IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS | GOD’S WORD | TOGETHER
Groups are a big deal at CSBC. We want everyone to experience intentional discipleship, meaningful relationships, and accountability that strengthens your life. We are a church growing in our relationship with Jesus, growing in God’s Word, growing in prayer, and growing together.

HOW WE LOVE AND SERVE A BROKEN WORLD
Where is Jesus Christ at work in our world? How does he touch the problems of society today, at the beginning of the twenty first century? The answer is that He is at work exactly as He was at work in His lifetime on earth, carrying out precisely the same strategy!
It is called “the church,” the body of Christ – but its ministry is to the same human race that Jesus ministered to, experiencing the same issues and conditions, facing the very same attitudes and problems.
LIFE IS BETTER TOGETHER
CAMDEN COMMUNITY BREAKFAST
Every Monday morning at Chestnut Street Baptist Church. It's our gift to you and all about sitting, eating together, and being part of our wonderful, community where God has placed each of us together. The breakfast begins at 7 and is served until 9. Breakfast is cooked-to-order and the menu includes eggs (any style, except poached and hard-boiled) bacon, sausage, home fries, toast, coffee, tea, juice/milk. Specials each week vary from waffles to pastry, or homemade muffins. And, did we mention, it is open to everyone and absolutely free of charge? All are invited and welcome!

KEEP IT SIMPLE
We believe simple is better, so we do four fundamental practices here at CSBC.WORSHIP GATHERINGSSundays 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.
SMALL GROUPSSmall 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?
SERVING TEAMSServing 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.
TRANSFORMATIONGod’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 .
