Welcome to CSBC

Welcome to this joyous Christmas Sunday! On this special day before Christmas, our hearts are filled with anticipation and wonder at the miraculous gift of Jesus Christ. In our Sunday School, we’ll explore the beautiful narrative of Christ’s birth, discovering anew the divine plan of God to take on human flesh. Our Morning Worship Service will be filled with uplifting Christmas music that celebrates our Savior’s arrival, and we’ll delve into the prophetic words of Isaiah 9:6, which foretold the coming of our Prince of Peace. Whether you’re a longtime member or visiting with us today, we are glad you have joined us for this celebration of hope of God’s greatest gift. Please let us know you are here by filling out our digital guest card. We pray that God will bless you this weekend!

-Pastor Dennis Jennings

A Night of Christmas Light

Experience the wonder of Christmas this evening as we gather for our special Family Service we are calling “A Night of Christmas Light.” Beginning at 6:00 PM, the sanctuary will come alive with the joy of fellowship and fun. The Lord will use the talented Todd Allen Family to fill our hearts with beautiful Christmas music to delight both young and old alike. Join us for this wonderful evening where precious memories will be made and hearts will be touched as we honor the greatest gift of all – our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Let your spirit be lifted in this special time of celebration and praise!

Christmas Eve

Let your family’s Christmas celebration begin with a sacred pause of worship and reflection. Join us on Christmas Eve at 6:00 PM as we turn our hearts to the miracle of Christ’s birth through music and praise. In this peaceful evening service, we’ll gather to honor that holy night when heaven touched earth and our Savior was born. Come begin your Christmas celebration by focusing on the greatest gift ever given – Emmanuel, God with us!

Christmas Offering

This Christmas season, we face three essential projects for our church family’s future: renovating our children’s playground for safety, replacing the lobby’s HVAC system, and repairing the Gillming Center’s roof – vital spaces that serve our children, youth, and entire congregation. Through God’s blessing and your faithful giving, we’ve already received $17,050.40 toward our $60,000 goal. As we celebrate the gift of our Savior, would you prayerfully consider supporting these improvements that will help us minister to generations to come?

Men’s Event

Registration is now open for the powerful “Wild Beast Feast & Life Skills Retreat” at Friendship Baptist Church in Owasso! Join us January 31 – February 1, 2025, as we explore what it means to be “Forged in the Fire” with special guest speaker Dr. David Gibbs Jr. from the Christian Law Association. This event promises to strengthen and challenge you in your walk with Christ while enjoying great food and fellowship. Register today at the Information Hub on our website or visit the Info Hub in the lobby. Don’t miss this opportunity to grow stronger in your faith alongside other men!

Christmas Card Mailbox

The Christmas Card Mailbox is set up in the north lobby (by the missions letters). If you would like to send Christmas cards to someone in our church family, drop them in the mailbox and they will be sorted and placed into folders for people to pick up the next time they come to church.

Join Us In 2025: Daily Bible Reading Program

The Discipleship Journal Bible Reading Plan provides a flexible approach to daily Scripture study through four concurrent readings. The plan includes only 25 daily readings per month, allowing time for catch-up or deeper study of intriguing passages. It can be started anytime during the year and is accessible through the YouVersion app on various digital devices. This thoughtful design encourages consistent engagement with God’s Word while accommodating real-life schedules. Join us as we begin as a church family on January 1, 2025.

You can give:

By using dropping your offering envelopes into the offering boxes in the back of the auditorium and on the walls in the lobby

Through the website at mycsbc.com

On the Realm Connect app

Through the mail – our offering envelopes are postage paid – meaning you can drop your offering in the mail without a stamp. If you would like us to send you envelopes to use during this season, just call the church office and we will be happy to put them in the mail to you asap.

Thank you so much for your faithfulness in giving to the Lord
