Kids Church Christmas Celebration
Parents, we have been LOVING our new curriculum: The Biggest Story. We’re in Genesis right now, but on December 14th, we will be taking a break from our story to have a special Christmas celebration! This will be a day that points your kids to Jesus and reminds them of how much he loves them. We’ll share the nativity story and have a Christmas-themed craft and game. Your kids won’t want to miss it!

Christmas Eve Service
Every Christmas Eve, we come together to orient our hearts to Christ at this important time of remembrance and celebration. We reflect on the many promises of God throughout the Old Testament about the Savior He would send to redeem us, and how He fulfilled every one of those promises in Jesus. Even down to the smallest details, like where the Savior would be born, God fulfilled the prophesies found in the Old Testament in the first advent of Christ. Scripture readings and Christmas hymns are interwoven throughout the service, culminating in our candlelight singing of “Silent Night.” Afterward, we will enjoy a time of fellowship with hot chocolate and Christmas treats. We hope you can join us!
Men's Christmas Party

Ladies Fellowship: Bone Broth Class
Ladies: With the colder months approaching, what could be better than a warm, nourishing bone broth? Join us on November 29th for a bone broth class with Shari Wood in the CBC Fellowship Hall. This is a great opportunity to enjoy something that can easily get lost in a world of technology, busyness, and hurry: the comfort and richness of sharing recipes, stories, and wisdom in the kitchen among friends. Please join us! Contact Shari below for more details.
Save the Date: Thanksgiving Potluck
The Thanksgiving Potluck is one of our favorite annual traditions as a church family! Those who are able bring a dish or two and we sit down together to enjoy a great meal and give thanks to God for His goodness. After we go back for seconds (or thirds…), we have a time of open-mic sharing, which is an opportunity for people of all ages to share how God has demonstrated His faithfulness to them over the past year. There is no pressure to share whatsoever. Whether you sit back and soak in the words of those around you, or decide to share something yourself, this event has one goal: to give God all glory, honor, and praise!
Baptism Celebration
Baptism is an important and exciting step in the life of a follower of Jesus! Join us immediately following the service Sunday, November 16th, in the fellowship hall to celebrate baptism as a church family. If you would like to learn more about baptism, please contact a pastor below!

Women’s Fall Brunch
Ladies, join us for our annual Fall Brunch! This is an event we look forward to every year. Not only is it an opportunity to enjoy delicious fall brunch food and grow in our friendships as sisters in Christ, but it’s also an intentional time to pause before the holiday season kicks into high gear and celebrate the goodness of God, reorienting our hearts to Him and giving Him thanks for all He is and all He has done for us! This year’s speaker is Karen Boozer, and you will be blessed by her message of encouragement. Childcare is provided (please register for childcare by Wednesday, November 5th). Invite your friends, family, and neighbors, and bring a dish to share!
Men's Retreat
Men, we hope you can join us on our annual retreat! This is a great opportunity to get away in nature and connect with God on a deeper level alongside your brothers in Christ. Invite friends, family members, and neighbors, and come enjoy a weekend of rest, fun, and encouragement. More info below!
Outreach at Victoria Park
Our greatest desire at CBC is to love God, love others, and make disciples of Jesus Christ. We want to extend the kindness of Jesus to our neighbors, meeting them right where they are and inviting them into a relationship with us and with our Savior. Though it can be intimidating to talk to people you don’t know, we invite you to say yes to how God might want to use you in the life of a person He created and deeply loves. We keep things casual through grilling hot dogs, handing out water bottles and chips, making conversation with people who want to enjoy a free meal or snack, and being a light for Jesus in whatever way the Holy Spirit moves us to! Even if you’ve never done anything like this, we’d love to have you. There is no pressure to be perfect, just to be a warm, friendly presence. You can help us serve food and watch/learn from others! You might be surprised at the connections you make with our neighbors - you may even get a chance to step out in boldness and share the best news in the world: the Gospel of Jesus. We surround this time with prayer, show up in faith, and leave the results to God. Please join us!
Youth Retreat
Students: it’s time for our fall retreat! This year we’re heading to an amazing cabin in Broken Bow, OK - right in the middle of nature, complete with a game room, fire pit, and hot tub. We can’t wait for campfires, stargazing, exploring, playing games, and having quiet times and group devos right in the center of God’s creation. Learn more and register below!
Fall Festival
Mark your calendars for our annual Fall Festival! This event is for all ages, and we encourage you to invite your neighbors and friends (we’ll have flyers available at the church on 10/12 - we’d love for you to take a stack to pass out!). There will be games, candy, prizes, food, a cake walk, etc - all FREE! Dress up in a costume if you’d like, and we’ll see you there!
CBC family: If you’re able to volunteer, that would be a huge blessing! This is a large-scale event that is an outreach to the community, and we have several ways you can serve: run a booth, work in the kitchen, help with set up/tear down, bring a cake for the cake walk, donate candy, etc. Volunteer below!

Irving Blvd. We’ll have picnic tables to eat at, or you can bring a blanket if you’d prefer. There will be games like croquet, bocce ball, spike ball, etc, and there’s a playground for the kids! Paster Steve always brings his boomerangs and will teach anyone who wants to learn how to throw one. Come enjoy a leisurely afternoon with our church family!
Child Dedication
God gives parents a unique role in their children’s lives: to be their primary example in discipleship and to train them up in the ways of the Lord. Child Dedication is an opportunity for parents to commit before the church to raising their children with intention, prayer and the hope that they will know and follow Jesus. It also offers an opportunity for the church to commit to supporting parents in that mission. Our next child dedication will take place during the worship service on Sunday, October 5th. Contact Pastor Steve to learn more and sign up!
Kids Church: The Biggest Story
We are so excited to be launching The Biggest Story curriculum during Kids Church on October 5th! We’re passionate about coming alongside kids and showing them the joy of knowing God personally and learning about Him through His Word. Kids Church will be filled with Gospel-centered activities designed to teach kids the whole story of the Bible and how it applies to their lives. We’ll have a Bible lesson, craft, game that reviews what they learned, and worship songs kids will be singing on the ride home! Our goal is to be in partnership with parents, so please reach out if you have any questions or would like more resources! We are also asking parents to complete a one-time registration so we can make sure we’re best able to care for your child. Please fill that out at the link below!
