PURPOSE STATEMENT

We passionately desire to be a great church at CBF! By great we aren’t referring just to size or attendance or membership – we mean GREAT in reference to an intensity of love for God, the Bible, His Church and those who still have not come to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ commanded us to take two awesome statements very seriously – The Great Commandment and The Great Commission. A main purpose for CBF is to lovingly, creatively and continually make every effort possible to make clear the gospel message to all people everywhere: "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." (Matthew 28:18-20)

 

The other main purpose for existence is to provide a church family environment where believers can worship, grow in grace and develop their spiritual gifts for the glory of God: "And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength"… and "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." (Mark 12:29-31). The Great Commitment is a sacrificial love for God and one another when we gather together and The Great Commandment is a sacrificial love for those who are not yet a born-again believer who is growing in discipleship in a good Christ-centered, Bible teaching church family. 

“A GREAT COMMITMENT

to the GREAT COMMANDMENT

and the GREAT COMMISSION

makes for GREAT CHRISTIANS

in a GREAT CHURCH.”

Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:18-20) The other main purpose for existence is to provide a church family environment where believers can worship, grow in grace and develop their spiritual gifts for the glory of God: “And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength…and ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” (Mark 12:29-31).

 

The Great Commitment is a sacrificial love for God and one another when we gather together and The Great Commandment is a sacrificial love for those who are not yet a born-again believer who is growing in discipleship in a good Christ-centered, Bible teaching church family.
 
At CBF ‘C.L.A.S.S. Seminars’ are offered to help Christians grow in grace according to Jesus’ method of discipleship in which the twelve matured from believers, to followers, to disciples to dedicated fishers of men over a three year period of time. Christian Life And Service Seminars take Christians on a spiritually rich progression through 5 basic levels of discipleship in which they learn how to enhance their devotional times of Bible study and prayer, what their spiritual gifts are and how to use them, sharing the gospel naturally and effectively and how to make all of life a worship experience every day. The five base approach to discipleship establishes the framework for all ministries at CBF.
