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.

Pastor's Note - June 30

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

Most often I have one thought dominating my mind as I sit down to write this pastor’s note. This week, I have several, smaller thoughts. So here’s a scattering of what’s on my mind, related to CBC! I’m excited for the Lollapalooza event on Saturday. I’m very grateful for the team and all the volunteers who are putting that together. While any funds we raise for this event will go toward the Sowing the Seeds campaign, I’m already wondering if we should make… read more

“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
