Our Location

Our Values

Community

We value strong, interdependent relationships in the church. As Christians, we were made to love and serve one another.

Bible

The Bible is the inspired word of God so it is important to us to know it and accurately preach it in context.

Church

Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. It is vital that believers regularly gather together to worship God, receive his word, and use our gifts to minister to one another.

As we’re entering into the fall season, and the schoolyear starts up, you may be working into new rhythms and patterns in your weekly calendar. As you plan your weeks, you may also be determining where you want to relationally ministerially (not sure that’s a word) invest in this next season of life. And you may wonder where you could plug in at the church. If you’re wondering specifically how to plug in at CBC, I’d suggest a few things. First, consider participating in… read more

Let us not grow weary in doing good. That is Paul’s admonition in Galatians 6:9. I’ve been reflecting on this and was compelled by the obvious implication – we very well may grow weary in doing good. Paul warns against this fatigue in doing good, because he knows very well that doing good doesn’t always come easy. It comes with trials, pushback, roadblocks, stresses, discouragements, and oppositions. Doing good in a fallen world is hard work, and isn’t always… read more

In the fall we will return to 1 Corinthians in our Sunday morning sermons. Eventually, we will get to 1 Corinthians 14:23-24, which talk about the use of prophecy and tongues, and what might happen if these gifts are used when unbelievers are present. Putting the issue gifts aside for a moment, there is something else we should note about these verse. Paul anticipates nonbelievers to at times be present in the worship service. Beyond that, he advises we should conduct ourselves in worship in… read more

I have recently been comforted by the words of Psalm 37:23-24; “The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand.” As we follow the Lord, we can trust that He will guide and lead us, and establish us on solid ground. This is especially comforting, because life very often doesn’t go the way you/I/we want. I think just about all of us have felt that to some extent over the last… read more

It is a terribly frustrating thing to have a complaint that no one will hear. If you are a sports fan, you’ve experienced this, particularly in relation to referees. You watch as your team gets obviously mistreated by the officials, either with undeserved calls against your team or obviously deserved non-calls against the other team. As you yell at the screen you know the officials will not hear your complaint. They won’t even hear the complaint of the team on the field/court/ice.… read more

Sunday evening (10th) is our annual July Family Gathering. Traditionally we’ve held these meetings during lunch right after the service, so as to not make people make two trips during the day to church. However, we also know that makes for a very long Sunday morning, especially for kids (and adults) who need naps! So we are experimenting with meeting in the evening, and providing a light meal, so that all can rest at home and come refreshed. We do hope you will come and participate,… read more

As we approach the 4th of July weekend, I wanted to simply provide some words on freedom from the Bible. Just as sin is our great captor, Christ is our great liberator. It is interesting to note that in these passages, Scripture tells us we may be freed from both sins of “law-breaking” and sins of “law-keeping,” from both licentiousness and legalism. We are enslaved to sin when we perpetually break the law of God, and we are enslaved to sin when we try to earn… read more

Sunday’s sermon was about the reliability and trustworthiness of Scripture. There are countless arguments against the validity of the Bible – more than we had time to address on Sunday. (And if there are other arguments that you are wrestling with and want to talk about, let me know!) No argument has ultimately succeeded to discredit Scripture. But it must be noted that in the end, whether or not we will believe and trust God’s Word is a matter of faith. If we believe in… read more

Next week is VBS, and I find myself looking forward to it a little more than usual. It’s certainly not because I think I will have to take part in a skit… The reason I look forward to it is because this is the first “full/normal” VBS we’ve had in a few years. We’ve got a lot of kids signed up, and may even need a few more volunteers (so let Kris know if you want to help). This means the building will be full and active, and people will be serving together… read more

I would like to encourage us all to spend some time this summer connecting with someone new at the church. Following a couple years of pandemic life, you may find a number of unfamiliar faces around the church. So one of our focuses over the summer is relationally connecting and reconnecting. We would like to facilitate personal connections in a few different ways. You’ll hear more about all of these in the days and weeks ahead, but I just want to bring a couple to attention. First, we… read more

This Saturday is the annual Advice and Aid “Walk for Life.” It takes place at their Overland Park office (10901 Granada Lane), at 9am. The purpose of this is not to protest anything in any way, but to fundraise for Advice and Aid, publicly demonstrate an advocacy for life, and to pray for our larger community. Our family plans to be there, so hit us up if you will be walking! If you want more information about it, visit their events web page at… read more

On Monday, I got the chance to drive over to St. Louis and watch an NHL playoff game between the St. Louis Blues and Colorado Avalanche. It was interesting to note the difference between the live viewing experience, and watching a game on television. I particularly noticed how my perspective was actually limited by the live experience. When you watch a game on television, you get multiple replays and angles of each play. And if it’s a national broadcast, there will be an effort made to be… read more
