Full Time
Purpose
Proclaiming the Truth: CBCGL exists to communicate God Word to others. We are here to carry out the Great Commission given to us by our Lord Jesus Christ by striving to evangelize our community and the world. Jesus commanded, to and make followers of all people (Matthew 28:19). We train you to be witnesses to their friends, families and co-workers. We financially support overseas and local missions, as well as provide opportunities for members to participate in taking the gospel to the ends of the earth through short term missions programs.
Making Disciples: CBCGL exists to celebrate God presence. We are here to express our love to God. As followers of Jesus Christ, we believe our ultimate purpose is to worship God through our lives and through our church. The Psalmist declared, glorify the Lord with me, let us praise His name together(Psalm 34:3). Our gathering on Sunday morning for our worship celebration is the culmination of a week of living our lives daily for Him.
Building Community: CBCGL exists to incorporate God's people into our church. We are here to provide a place where you can be assured of belonging to the Body of Christ. The Apostle Peter wrote, love the Brothers and Sisters of God's family (1 Peter 2:17). As a family, we encourage you to get involved in one of our many fellowship groups. It is in these smaller and more intimate groups that strong caring relationships are nurtured and we fulfill our obligation to love one
