STRIVING TO HELP YOU CONNECT TO JESUS
Ministry is using whatever God has given you to serve Him and the needs of others.
“Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms.” (1 Peter 4:10 NIV)
This verse talks about the different kinds of service to God and how they together form the Body of Christ and each one is a necessary part of it. We believe that God has given every Christian:
S
- Spiritual gifts that are given for the express purpose of serving others.
H
- Heart motivations that influence the choices we make and the feelings we have.
A
- Abilities that empower our service and affirm our choice of ministry areas.
P
- Personalities that lend themselves to diverse opportunities.
E
- Experiences, whether spiritual, educational, or those born of pain, that compel us toward ministry.
"Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ. (Ephesians 4:11-12)
Apostle Paul says on this verse that God wants to use me and you to help others toward maturity. Because every Christian need to have a ministry to serve God.

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. Volunteer workers provide nursery care for ages 2 and under.
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
