CHBC Connect for April 21, 2023
What is God’s Vision for CHBC?
Core to our understanding of the church are three statements. We call them piers. They are, The Centrality of the Scriptures, The Lordship of Christ, and the Glory of God. Romans 15:6 says, “so that with one accord you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” We bring our greatest praise as we fulfill the three-fold purpose: to equip believers, exalt Christ, and extend the gospel. As we disciple believers, worship God, and evangelize the lost we unite our voice in glory of the God.
Oklahoma Baptist University
Join us in praying for Oklahoma Baptists’ only university, OBU. Significant damage has occurred on campus. We will share with you if there are ways to support their efforts to return to normal operation. In the mean time be thanking God for protecting the students, faculty, and administration, and pray for President Thomas and the rest of the OBU leadership as they make many difficult decisions in the coming days, and work to continue their vision of educating students and creating future shapers.

CHBC Explore – April 23 and 30
This is the new member orientation class for CHBC. The class meets for three Sundays at 9 AM in the CHBC Conference Room. Pastor Mark will teach on the priority of the gospel, the importance of membership, and the history and vision of CHBC. By the end of the class, you will know who we are, why we exist, and how to complete the membership process if the Lord is directing you to Capitol Hill. No preregistration is necessary. Just join us in the Conference Room on April 16, 23, and 30, if you are interested.
CHBC Resource Center
Visit the CHBC Resource Center outside the Worship Center. There are three featured books, and several free resources. Our featured books are for sale, and are books that we believe every Christian home should own.
Are You Being Discipled in a Small Group?
Sunday morning Sunday School, Men’s Bible Studies, Women’s Bible Studies, Young Adults Bible Study, College & Career Bible Study, Adult Midweek Connect. All of these are regular small group offerings in the life of the church where you can engage in planned, organized discipleship. We like to say, “Life transformation happens as the church gets smaller.” By that we mean, as the body of Christ, the Church, meets together in small groups, life transformation is accelerated at a rate greater than simply attending the weekly worship service. To get connected to a small group visit with a pastor or explore the activities page and come to a group. CHBC Activities List for Bible Study Information.
CHBC Resource Center
New free resources are available at the CHBC Resource Center. Stop by Resource Center outside the main doors to get the ESV Study Bible, or Systematic Theology, 2nd Ed. by Wayne Grudem, or the other five free resources available at this time. You can take these at no cost or make a donation for your book to assist the furtherance of the CHBC Resource Center. The CHBC Resource Center exists to provide biblical tools every home should own. There is a payment box at the Resource Center with suggested retail pricing for each available resource. Pay what you can if you can. We want every home equipped with these Bible study tools. Also, pick up your free Scripture Memory pack, preloaded with all the verses for Titus 2.
Scripture of the Month - April
Titus 2:4-5, “so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, 5 to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored.”
During 2023 CHBC will be saying aloud verses from the book of Titus 2. CHBC quotes Scripture aloud during our morning worship gathering. This is done for two reasons. First, we are commanded in Scripture to encourage one another with the Word of God. Second, we want to emphasize the spiritual discipline of Scripture memory. The goal of 2023 is for you to be able to quote the entire second chapter of the Epistle to Titus. Pick up your Scripture Memory card packs at the Resource Center outside the middle doors of the Worship Center.
