WHO WE ARE
WE ARE CHRISTIANS
As Christians, we are disciples of Jesus Christ. Because we are His disciples, He is our Lord.
Because He is our Lord, we strive to walk in His ways. As a local body of believers in Christ, we gather
regularly for worship, edification and fellowship. We also observe the teachings of baptism and
communion.
We do not merely talk about our discipleship in Christ. At Community Baptist Church, you will see
discipleship in action as we apply Christ's teachings to our personal lives and to our interactions and
relationships with others. We also take Christ's teachings into the world as His missionaries to family,
friends, acquaintances and to those unknown to us whom God would have cross our paths.
WE ARE THE BODY OF CHRIST
"...the Body of Christ is the place of acceptance, the place of atonement and peace between God and
man." (Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship, SCM Press Ltd, Copyright 1959). Yet while we are sinners,
in Christ we are accepted, forgiven and at peace with God. Therefore, you can expect the love of Christ to
be evident as you visit Community Baptist Church, regardless of where you are in your personal walk with
Christ.
WE ARE EVANGELICALS
Derived from the Greek words euangelion, which means "good news," and euangelizomai, which means
"to proclaim as good news", evangelical believers have existed since the day of Pentecost when the Holy
Spirit, as promised by Christ, was given to the early believers as their comforter as well as their witness to
the promise of eternal salvation. As evangelicals, we focus on a personal relationship with Christ and upon
proclaiming the good news of His salvation, which is made available to all who would believe.
