Ordination Service – March 1, 2020
CHBC is planning to ordain Jason Crosby on the evening of March 1, 2020. The ordination council will meet during the afternoon at 3:30 PM. Any ordained ministers or deacons of CHBC are invited to participate in the council, and in the laying on of hands that will occur during the ordination service. Jason has been preparing for ordination the last year and has completed the preliminary process in order to be considered for ordination. All are invited to attend the service that will take place at 5 PM.

Men’s and Women’s Bible Studies
Why does CHBC offer Bible studies specific for men and women apart from Sunday School? We believe that offering Bible study opportunities throughout the week in open groups allows people greater opportunity for service and discipleship. These groups meet at a variety of times, and in a variety of locations with the attempt to meet the varying needs of people who desire to strengthen their walk with Christ, and to develop deeper relationships with other believers. You can see the times and schedules of the meetings on the church website by clicking here on: CHBC Men’s Fraternity; or the Events List of the CHBC website for a variety of weekly women’s Bible studies.

Quotes from Church History
“Gospel-holiness will not save us; it must be the righteousness of God by faith.” – Benjamin Keach (1640-1704, English Particular Baptist)

Pastor Mark's Weekly Update February 6, 2020

The Lord’s Supper
Sunday, February 9, during the morning worship gathering, the believers at CHBC will be observing The Lord’s Supper.  We invite all believers who have participated in immersion baptism to join us in the taking of The Lord’s Supper.  The Lord’s Supper is a symbolic act of remembering Christ’s death on the cross, of proclaiming the gospel, of professing the unity of believers, and of anticipating Christ’s return.  Begin now preparing your heart, soul, and mind for this special moment this Sunday.  Prepare by reading 1 Cor. 11:23-34.

Providence Tours: CHBC

Deadline: Sunday, February 9, is the last day to pay a deposit for Providence Tour: DC. 

Sixteen people so far have reserved a spot for this trip on the providential hand of God in America’s early government.  Expected final cost will be $1400.

Capitol Hill Baptist Church is intentional about equipping believers about what they should KNOW, who they should BE, and what they should DO.  If you look around the church you will see framed lists of our Know, Be, and Do.  One of the things we want believers to Know is about God’s providence, and a greater understanding of our Christian history.  This is why Pastor Mark is founding Providence Tours: CHBC.  Providence Tours will begin as annual trips to places of historical importance in the life of all believers.  This fall from October 14-19, Pastor Mark and Susan will lead a Providence Tour to Washington DC.  This first tour will include visits to Jamestown, Yorktown, Colonial Williamsburg, Mount Vernon, The Bible Museum, The Capital Mall, and The Smithsonian.

• Fall 2022 – Israel
• Fall 2023 – Europe: Reformation History
• Fall 2024 – Washington DC Area
