ENGLISH SERMON

Message:
Step By Step

Speaker:
Chuck Lowe

Scripture Passage:
Exodus 23:20-33
 
Who are we?

We are tri-cultural.

Many - but not all - of us are Asian, either in origin or in ethnicity. We intentionally retain Asian values where they are compatible with Christ, and reform them where they diverge.

Many - but not all - of us are American citizens. We intentionally adopt American values where they are compatible with Christ, and reform them where they diverge.

Foremost, we are Christian. Our unity in Christ outweighs our cultural, ethnic and national differences. Chinese, Taiwanese, Malaysians, Singaporeans, Indonesians, Cambodians, Canadians, Americans -- and others -- we worship God and care for one another without regard to ethnic, cultural, or national origins.

CBCGB congregations and fellowships meet in one of three languages: Mandarin, Cantonese, and English.

Where are we?
21st Century America.

Contemporary American culture is postmodern: relativistic, experiential, individualistic, consumerist, narcissistic, populist, and privatized.

We strive to be in this world, but not of it.

We proclaim the one true God.

We affirm that God is not only to be known intellectually but also experientially.

We foster community.

We renounce the use of God and surrender ourselves to His use.

We embrace discipleship and discipline.

We serve God not only with heart, but also with mind.

We bring Christ into the workplace, not only in evangelism, but also in excellence and in ethics.
What are we?
We are a family.

Our ministries expand the spectrum from newborns, to infants and toddlers, school aged-youth, junior high, high school, college, young professionals, and family fellowships.

Across all the ministries, we seek to create a corporate family of faith, and to strengthen individual families of faith.


Core Values

Our purpose is to glorify God by advancing the reign of Christ through:

Worship and Prayer

We worship as a corporate expression of our passion for the supremacy of God in all things to the joy of all peoples. (John 4:24; Rev 4:8-11; Eph 2:21; Mark 11:17)

Spiritual Formation

We grow in the knowledge and application of God's Word in order to become mature in Christian character and effective in ministry. (Eph 4:11-13; 2 Tim 2:2; 1 Tim 3:15)

Community Fellowship

We love and care for one another through small groups, encouraging, supporting and praying for each other. (Acts 2:44-47; Heb 10:23-25; John 13:34-35; Eph 3:15)

Ministry and Service

We demonstrate the love of Christ to those in our church, in our community, and in the world. (Matt 25:34-40; Gal 5:13; 2 Cor 9:11-12; Rom 12:4-8; Eph 4:12)

Evangelism and Missions

We proclaim the gospel in word and deed through evangelism in our community and through missionary endeavors throughout the world. (Acts 1:8; 2 Cor 5:20; Matt 28:18-20; 2 Pet 3:9)
We live out these values through ministries of:
worship
presiding
retreats
leadership training
medical, allied health, & dental fellowship (MAD)
web ministry
and more...
