CHBC Connect for February 24, 2023
What is God’s Vision for CHBC?
The family of CHBC is challenged to hold three fundamental convictions about local church: the local church should be Biblically-Modeled; the local church should be Mission-Minded; and the local church should be Multi-Cultural. What is behind the conviction to be Biblically-Modeled? We are convinced that God establishes the church and guides the church through the Lord Jesus Christ and the divine revelation of Holy Scripture. Therefore, the church should endeavor to plan its worship and ministry according to the prescriptions and descriptions found in the Bible. CHBC is committed to functioning as a church according to Scripture.

Utah Mission Trip – July 7-15
Victory Christian Fellowship is a small Southern Baptist Church in the town of Panguitch, Utah. They have existed for just over thirty years, but recently have struggled to locate a pastor because of the limited amount of housing in this resort area. They are constructing a parsonage, while trying to keep ministry going to the residents and many visitors the area. We will be conducting a 4-day VBS and helping finish the building project during our trip. If you are interested in going on this mission trip, or would just like more information, please stay after church for a few minutes on Sunday, Feb. 5, to receive an information packet. Cost will be between $780-$900/person depending on rooming arrangements.
CHBC Resource Center
Stop by the updated Resource Center outside the main doors to get the ESV Study Bible, or Systematic Theology, 2nd Ed. by Wayne Grudem. 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 - February
Titus 2:2, “Older men are to be temperate, dignified, sensible, sound in faith, in love, in perseverance.”
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.
