Welcome to CSBC!

Welcome! Thank you for joining us in worship on this first Sunday of March at CSBC. As signs of spring begin to emerge around us, we’re reminded that faith, like nature, thrives on renewal. Each person here brings something unique to our church family – whether you’re visiting for the first time or have been with us for years. As we gather today, may you feel God’s presence as we journey together toward spring’s promise. We’re so glad you are here! Please let us know you are here by filling out our digital guest card. We pray that God will bless you this weekend!

Circles of Hope: Growing Together This Easter Season

Join us for a special four-week journey toward Easter Sunday! Our “Circles of Hope” emphasis begins with a Kickoff Banquet on March 16th where we will be equipped to share hope during the weeks before Easter, beginning March 30, April 6, April 13, and culminating on Easter Sunday, April 20. Each week builds toward our Easter celebration with practical ways to invite others who need hope. From “Hope Foundations” to “Hope Renewed,” every class will become a center of hope. Mark these dates on your calendar and prepare to grow together this Easter season!

Roof Repairs Complete – A Reason To Celebrate!

Great news to celebrate! Thanks to your generous “Birthday Gift for Jesus” Christmas offerings, the troublesome leaks in the Gillming Center roof have finally been fixed. After wrestling with multiple problem areas for years, our building is now properly protected and watertight. Spring showers? Bring them on! Your sacrificial giving has ensured our ministry spaces will stay dry and usable regardless of the weather. What a blessing to see your generosity making such a practical difference in our church facilities! And there’s more good news—stucco repairs are now underway, with completion timeline dependent on weather conditions.

“Go-To Verses” Series Continues Tonight

Tonight at 6:00 PM, our “Go-To Verses of Jesus” series continues. We’ve been unpacking the powerful Scripture passages that Jesus himself quoted, discovering how these timeless words shaped his ministry and can transform our lives today. Each week brings new insights and practical applications for our daily faith journey. Come be part of this enriching study as we examine how Jesus drew strength and wisdom from God’s Word, and learn how these same passages can deepen your own spiritual walk.

Grief isn’t meant to be walked alone. If you’re experiencing the loss of a loved one, GriefShare provides a safe, understanding community where healing can begin.

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