About 250 people call CBC their home church and we hope to grow the congregation in the coming years. There are presently 5 team members on staff. We operate two services on Sunday mornings in our sanctuary that has seating for 240 people. In addition, the services are streamed live to YouTube. CBC has an active small group ministry with 15 groups that meet regularly in our community. CBC has become known over the years for its excellent Bible teaching, great youth and children’s ministry programs, generosity in our community, and the support of a global missionary initiative. Some of the current community impact ministries include supporting a local adult high school, a mom and tot’s ministry, and summer day camp.
