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

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

Pastor's Note - December 2

Your work doesn’t save you. That thought impressed itself upon me in my morning devotions and prayer. In our 242 Group on Tuesday nights, we’ve been reading through the book of Hebrews. Hebrews can be technical and theologically dense, while relying a great deal on a working knowledge of Old Testament institutions such as the priesthood and temple. However, the basic message is clear. Christ is better than all of that. So don’t trust in or go back to those other things. Christ… read more

One of my great joys in life and ministry is being able to share good resources with people. Possibly my favorite time of the year is Christmas season. So quite naturally every Christmas season I, and others in staff and leadership here, love to think about good resources we can share with you to help you worship during the Christmas season. It’s a season of making good memories. Part of those memories can be times reading, singing, worshiping, praying, or playing at home with loved ones… read more

If you were able to join us for Soupfest on Sunday evening, then I’m sure you were encouraged as I was. Of course the food was wonderful. More than that, it was good for the soul to gather in fellowship, and see people enjoying each other’s company. Now more than ever I thank the Lord for those opportunities. We were additionally blessed by the presence of the Owen family. Andy and Carmen shared with us about the work that has been going on in Thailand, specifically through Sandy… read more

By now I hope you’ve been informed about our ‘Sowing the Seeds’ fundraising campaign. Letters were placed in your mailboxes at church, and you may also receive a letter sent to your home. We’ll keep talking about it at church over the next few months, as we are truly excited about this venture! As you know, our goal is to raise funds for the basement and for planting a church. That much I hope is clear! But what about some other questions you may have? Allow me to speak… read more

In the last few days Mark Zuckerberg announced that the Facebook company was changing its name to ‘Meta’ (or Meta Platforms, Inc.). Facebook as the social media site will remain the same. But this renaming of the company underscores a shift in priority. They are now embarking on a venture to bring people into a fully virtual world. Tech companies have been pushing us in this direction for a while. For example, gaming companies are more fully investing in virtual reality incorporated… read more

Pastor's Note - October 28

How we view Jesus Christ pretty much determines everything for us. Who we view Him to be will, out of necessity, impact our thoughts and actions. After all, we follow Him. So we will walk the way we think He walks. Related to this, one of my favorite depictions of Jesus is found in Revelation 5:5-6. There, John is given a vision of the throne room of God. In that throne room, in the hand of Him who was sitting on the throne, is a scroll that no one is worthy to open. The question rings out; Who… read more

Pastor's Note - October 21

I’m excited for Sunday. Truthfully, I look forward to every Sunday. But this Sunday will be different, as we gather after the service to talk about the proposed fundraising plan for finishing of the church basement and planting a church. I truly hope you will come and take part in that gathering. And if you can’t make it, that you will submit some feedback through the survey that has been sent out. Either way, I’m eager to hear the voice of the church, which I believe will be… read more

Pastor's Note - October 14

My first inclination in this note was, naturally, to talk about our vision to fundraise for the purpose of finishing the CBC basement and planting a church in the next several years. But there will be ample time to talk about that, and I hope you will join us on the 24th for the family gathering, where we will meet as a church for that reason! Instead, I want to take a maybe unexpected turn and talk about our CBC Kids children’s ministry. The reason is simply that I have been very… read more

I was reminded on Sunday that October is “pastor appreciation month.” I don’t know where exactly this tradition started, but I won’t argue it! In all honesty, our church is an encouraging place to serve as a pastor, and I hope and trust it is a blessed place to serve in any capacity. I want to take this opportunity to make sure others are honored this month as well. It should be known to all that our church is not led by any one person other than Jesus Christ – He… read more

Many of you prayed for me while I was in Denver this last week, serving on the board of Multiply. Thank you for your prayers. For those who don’t know, Multiply is the international missions agency of both the United States and Canadian Mennonite Brethren conferences. Over the last several years, Multiply has gone through some ups and downs – which I can explain in more detail if you ask! But the big takeaway from this last meeting for me was that there seems to be some real… read more

The history of Israel’s and Judah’s kings is mixed, to state it generously. Most were wicked, but there were some righteous kings mixed in. Some individual kings are portrayed as both wicked and righteous. Asa is one such king. Largely, he is seen as a righteous king, who made wonderful reforms in Judah’s worship. However, he didn’t end well. He treated some of his people cruelly, and compromised toward the end of his life. Particularly, at key moments he failed to trust… read more

On Tuesday of this week, comedian Norm MacDonald passed away at 61 after quietly battling cancer for a number of years. Norm MacDonald came to fame on Saturday Night Live in the early 90s, and made a career as a stand-up, actor, and television personality with a remarkably unique, even avant-garde, comedic sensibility. On the day of his death, the internet went into a frenzy of sharing some of his jokes and comedic appearances, particularly on late night talk shows. You got the sense that every… read more
