Check in young children
Our Sunday children's programs are the perfect place for children from birth through fifth grade. The staff and volunteers create a safe, fun atmosphere in which children can learn Bible stories and participate in age-appropriate worship. If your children are 2-years-old or younger, a pager will be issued to you when your child is checked in so that we can contact you during the service if necessary.

Find the worship services for teens
Our Sunday youth ministries are a great place for your teenagers to meet other teens and learn about God. Our junior high ministry is called TNT (Teens-N-Truth), while the senior high ministry is called Student Body.

Settle in
At CBC, you will notice a casual atmosphere and people of all ages and walks of life. A greeter will welcome you and give you a bulletin when you arrive on campus which includes church announcements and other helpful information. You may sit wherever you're comfortable and if you ever need help finding a seat, an usher is more than happy to help you! During the service, you may fill out a Guest Information card. We also have a Welcome Center in the Lobby where any additional questions can be answered.

| During the service |
Worship and music
This time is set aside for communicating with God from our hearts. Our worship teams lead us in a blend of upbeat songs of praise, intimate songs of worship, and hymns. Everyone worships in his or her own unique way—for many, that means singing and clapping along, and for others it means quietly reflecting on the words. You are welcome to do whatever makes you feel most comfortable.
|
Offering
As part of our worship, people give back a portion of their incomes as an offering. You are welcome to participate but don't feel any pressure to give. This is an act of worship for our regular attendees allowing them to thank God for all of the great work He is doing in their lives. It also gives Community Bible Church the means to reach more people for Christ in the future.
|
The message (sermon)
Every Sunday, you will hear a straightforward message that is based on the Bible and is designed to be helpful in your everyday life. We trust that these messages will help you develop a growing, vibrant relationship with Jesus Christ and provide a strong biblical foundation for your life.
|
Communion
Four times a year, we celebrate communion together. Any follower of Jesus Christ can participate in this time of reflection and prayer. The bread represents His broken body and the juice His blood shed on the cross so that our sins could be forgiven. Click here for more information about our communion service.

Visit the welcome center
After the worship, service if you have any questions, we invite you to visit our Welcome Center (located in the lobby) and meet some of our volunteers and leaders. They are happy to answer any questions that you may have about CBC.

Pick up your kids
When you pick up your child from the nursery, please be sure to turn in the pager assigned to you during check-in. This allows us to ensure your child's safety by matching you with your child. Please pick up all children promptly.
