About Us

WE BELIEVE THE BIBLE is the Word of God; our teaching and preaching is based on the King James Version of the Bible. We believe that Jesus was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on the cross as a payment for our sins, and rose from the dead on the third day. We believe that the only way a person may go to heaven when he dies is to first place his faith in the payment that Jesus Christ provided with His shed blood on the cross. CHBC is what it means, a Baptist Church. Once a person is saved by putting his faith in Jesus, we are commanded to be baptized by immersion to show to others what took place when we trusted Christ; we do this in obedience not to save us but to show that we have been saved. We believe in participating in the Lord’s Supper to remember the payment Jesus made for us and express our love for Him for that payment. It is not kept to take us to heaven, but to thank Jesus for His sacrifice.

WE BELIEVE THAT THE BIBLE is what it claims to be: The Word of God. We take instruction from the Bible literally; we believe what it is actually saying, not that it is an allegory or fable. We take instruction from the Bible in the areas of life and faith, and go to it for the answers to life. In a day when opinion polls and media agendas steer our social conscience, we believe that we should first seek God’s opinion on any subject before forming our own.

WE BELIEVE THE FAMILY unit should be strong and healthy. The first institution God made on the earth was the family. Programs in the church are geared to help build strong families. CHBC provides fellowship, friendship, and support services through our social activities. We strive to be protective of our own children. We have a professional security and medical team in church.

WE BELIEVE THE CHURCH should be the moral conscience of a community and the nation. Since God created civil governments, we work hard to cooperate with and work together with our elected officials and civil servants.

WE BELIEVE THAT THE ONLY REQUIREMENT for church membership is salvation and baptism by immersion. A person may join from another Baptist church by transfer.

WE BELIEVE THAT IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY as outlined in the Bible to spread the Gospel to our area, city, nation, and the world. Mark 16:15, “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature,” Matthew 28:19-20, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”

WE BELIEVE THAT CHRISTIANS should talk, behave, live, and dress like a citizen of Heaven. The basis for these standards is found in the Bible. We make no apology for our conservative beliefs in many areas including music, social issues, dress, and behavior.

WE BELIEVE A CHURCH should not be filled with spectators but participants. It should be described as a spiritual hospital where people come for spiritual healing, not a spiritual museum where the relics of “Pharisee-ism” are displayed. We are careful stewards of God’s money. We strive to be honest and respectable. We aim to do things the best way we can with what we have because we believe GOD’s BUSINESS IS THE GREATEST BUSINESS IN THE WORLD.
