What Baptists Believe

Vision/Identity

...expand our church family and welcome new members through outreach.
...strengthen our Church through our Mission Programs.
...minister to all generations through creative and exciting blended services.

Leadership/Decisionmaking
CHBC was established with strong lay leadership, who have maintained those roles in both committee leadership and in the deacon body. A key factor in the success of the leadership and decision-making process is the coexistence of the pastor’s leadership alongside the established lay leadership.
