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.

“How does God prove that all kinds of people can be his gospel people?” That’s been the driving question in Pastor Aaron’s sermons over the past couple of weeks from Acts 9:32-11:30 (this Sunday is Acts 11). Read again Peter’s opening words to Cornelius in Acts 10:34-36: “God shows no partiality, but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.” All people can be restored to God through the “good… read more

If you’ve been paying attention to the news, you heard about the potential overturning of Roe v. Wade; the 1973 decision in which the Supreme Court determined that the US Constitution itself provides liberty for abortion. This hit the news because of a leak from the Supreme Court (which itself, from what I understand, is highly unusual), indicating that the Supreme Court will overturn Roe v. Wade. Should this happen, the legality of abortion would be determined at the state level, rather… read more

So there’s been a lot of talk about (and on) social media recently, what with Elon Musk purchasing Twitter and all. I don’t greatly care about the purchase itself. It does however highlight that social media companies are high dollar businesses, making a lot of people a lot of money. This is where I think Christians need to be wise. Remember that social media, in any form, is a business, and someone is profiting off of it. There’s an old adage—if a service is free, you… read more

This last Easter weekend was a joy, and Sunday morning was the highlight for me. I don’t think it was just that the building was fuller than it’s been in years. Much more than that, it was full of people worshiping. It was full of friends and family that you all invited to come be with us. Even more, it was full of people serving one another, and taking their time to help one another give praise to God, and fellowship with one another. I think that’s what made this weekend so… read more

A while ago (within a couple years after college) I read a book by Eugene Peterson called “Practice Resurrection.” I honestly don’t remember much of it, or if it was any good (whatever my judgment of it was, I’m sure I’d now disagree slightly with my previous assessment). Regardless of all that, I remember the central premise being that we as Christians are called to live in light of the resurrection. We are to “practice resurrection,” so to speak. We… read more

Continuing on to answer questions about our Sowing the Seeds campaign, some have asked whether and for what purpose we need the basement finished. Why do we want to finish the basement? Allow me to answer that with a little bit of dreaming about possibilities. None of these ideas are plans set in stone. These are just some of the possibilities that would be open to us with a finished basement. First, and maybe most obviously, we would have more space on Sunday and Wednesday mornings. I have… read more

Continuing to use this space to answer questions about our Sowing the Seeds campaign (see previous posts if you don’t know what that is!), I want to answer one giant question, that has certainly crossed my mind a number of times. That question is; “What if this all fails?” What if we invest time and energy and money, and in the end the basement renovation is not possible, we fail to be able to cover the costs, or we can’t gather a team to launch a new church, or we… read more

As we prayerfully plan and prepare toward a church plant, one of the most frequent questions is “Where are we going to plant?” The honest and shortest answer is simply; “We don’t know.” In theory, we could plant a church anywhere in the world, and we would not want to put any limits on where the Lord might lead us to plant. I say this honestly. I know of several churches involved in planting churches overseas. So I don’t consider anywhere to be outside of the… read more

For the next few weeks, I’d like to use this space to address some questions I’ve been asked regarding the Sowing the Seeds campaign, related to the basement remodel, parking lot expansion, and eventual church plant. So, we could call this series of notes a “Sowing the Seeds FAQ.” The first question I want to address is related to the church plant, and whether investing in a church plant will make it more difficult to build and pay for the basement and parking lot. Some… read more

Having growing up in Spokane, WA, I especially wanted to pass along this letter from nine Slavic churches in Spokane, including two USMB churches. Here’s the letter: As we watch the war in Ukraine unfold, it is hard to capture in words what many in the Slavic community are feeling. A confluence of shock, disbelief, horror and grief are probably just a few of the feelings that ebb and flow with each day. Many leaders in the Spokane community have reached out to the Slavic people in our… read more

As I write this, Russia has begun attacks on Ukraine, and reports are coming in about explosions on Ukrainian soil. I won’t pretend to understand the situation well enough to know how this will all end, or where it could possibly lead. Traditional and social media responses can rarely be trusted to present sober, fair, and level-headed analysis. But from what is being reported, there is some potential for global ramification and multi-national war, which is something my generation… read more

Next week, those who call CBC home will be emailed our annual ministry reports. While I admit these reports may seem a little dry, I hope you will take the time to read through them and see how the Lord has been good and faithful to us this year. We still have many challenges, and many areas that need growth. We have not yet reached perfection! But if you take the time to read through the reports, I hope you will find that behind them are people who are serving the Lord together, and serving… read more
