CHILDREN'S MINISTRY

Many children come to CCBC each week.  It is our desire to give them a safe, comfortable environment that will communicate God’s love for them.  The Children’s Ministry of CCBC offers Sunday School classes to children of ages 3-12 so that they can meaningfully spend their time while their parents attend worship service.  Sunday School materials which include visual aids such as posters, memory verse charts and handwork books are provided to make children appreciate each Bible lesson.  Infants and toddlers in the Nursery Section are either put to sleep or allowed to play in the playpen by patient volunteer workers.

MUSIC MINISTRY

Mission statement: To worship, honor, and glorify the body of Christ through all aspects of life (Colossians 3:16-17). As a ministry we will serve as a vessel to bring unification within the congregation to praise the LORD through song (Isaiah 12:5). 

Ministry Purpose: “The music ministry is to act as a vehicle to usher in the presence of God. It is to set and establish an atmosphere that is conducive to worship, enabling (a) the presence of God to move freely among the congregation and (b) each person in the congregation to experience Christ on a personal level. The music ministry should serve as an enhancement to the worship service (Not distraction), preparing the people for the delivery of the Word of God. It is not an end in itself, but neither is it a means of filling gaps in the worship experience. The music ministry should not be used as a piece of scenic background, but rather as an active, participatory, and integral part of the worship service.” – Music Ministry of Bethel Missionary Baptist Church

LADIES MINISTRY

Ladies Ministry’s primary goal is to encourage single and married ladies, working and non-working mothers to let them feel their importance as mothers and ladies in the church.  Sometimes, we all get bored with our routine work and household chores and once in a while we need to refresh with other Christian ladies.

PRAYER AND INTERCESSION MINISTRY

This prayer ministry supports through prayer and intercession the needs of the congregation, the pastoral staff, church ministries, the city, county, state, nation, and world.  Prayer requests come from several sources:  prayer and communication cards, e-mails, personal encounters, individual needs, telephone, etc.  These team members fervently pray over all requests received every week.

GROWTH GROUP BIBLE STUDY MINISTRY

One of the exciting ministry of Cornerstone Christian Baptist Church is having Growth Group Bible Study that meets weekly.  In this small group meeting, we then discuss deeper and some controversial topics regarding the Bible and how we will grow more spiritually.  It is also in this occasion that we have an opportunity to know more about each other.

VISITATION MINISTRY

Visitation is one of our major ministries that we are doing.  We are doing our best to pay visit to our visitors, absentees, regular attendees and members of our church.  We would like them to feel welcome in our church and show them that we care for them.

CHILDREN'S PRAISE TEAM MINISTRY

CCBC is blessed with many children.  We want them to have a privilege to serve the Lord through singing.  This could be an exciting music ministry for the CCBC.  The children will sing on worship service, special concerts and participate in community events.  We will emphasize excellence in music but present Jesus Christ as the center of our focus.  We will teach children that praising the Lord is fun and an exciting way of life.

USHERING MINISTRY

The Usher Ministry provides an excellent opportunity to participate in our weekly worship celebration and other special events at the church.  This ministry will allow you to meet and greet other church members and attendees.  We strive to make them feel comfortable and welcome to our services.  As an usher you will get to know more about the activities and the people involved in the Sunday worship services.  The door usher makes sure an adequate supply of bulletins, handouts and pencils are available for his station.  He greets attendees, answers questions about where various classes and activities are taking place, passes out bulletin, and helps people get seated.  He assists people that need help and assures aisles are clear and safe.  He also helps with the offering and counting the attendance.

PULPIT HELPS MINISTRY

Because our goal on Sunday is to communicate the truths of God’s word in a relevant and understandable way. We provide DRAMA  for Evangelism, education, understanding of God’s word and challenges on values and religion.  Many people do not realize how practical the bible is to their lives. Others think that “Theology and Doctrine” are too difficult for them to understand. Through the DRAMA we can overcome these barriers. Often the drama will effectively communicate more than the sermon can. The mix of visual, dialogue, real people dealing with real issues gets people’s attention and communicates truth in a unique way. Drama is especially important because it can overcome the language barriers, educational limitations, and it is generally a boredom buster. For our performers, we provide a fulfilling creative outlet, which uses and develops our God-given gifts and talents in a way that pleases and honours God.

FOOD PREPARATION MINISTRY

We love to eat and have fellowship with one another.  So, whenever, there is an special Sunday events in our church (Friends, Family, Students, Mothers, Fathers, Veterans Day) or any occasions like Christmas, Church Anniversary, we always have a celebration party.  But then it is very hard to organize what foods we are going to prepare, etc.  We’re so glad that we have several ladies from our church who were more than willing to help in preparing foods.                

WEBSITE MINISTRY

As the Internet becomes more prevalent in our society, it has become commonplace to turn to the Internet for shopping, finding directions, researching products, and even to find a church or seek answers to spiritual questions. When a new person moves into town one of the first things they do to find out where a business or even a church is, is to look on the web. Our church front is now not only a brick and mortar one but we have another church front that is waiting for them on the web. The difference is that a website is open 24 hours a day 7 days a week and can draw seekers and future members. The Website Ministry is the place for:  a) answering questions about membership, baby dedication, weddings, church schedules and Bible Studies.
