Promotion Sunday
School is officially starting back up and we’re excited for our children and students entering new stages! Our small group Promotion Sunday is this Sunday, August 14th, so on that day, your child may go to a separate place for small groups. If you have any questions about where your child or children will be, contact any one of our family ministry team (Hailee, Caleb, or Keno) and they’ll be able to let you know.
Synergy | August 14th • 4pm
We are gearing up for another fall semester and are looking forward to launching new Small Groups as a part of our exciting Launch Day on August 21st. But first, we have a Synergy Small Group Training this Sunday, August 14th.
This is an opportunity for all of our leaders (or aspiring leaders) to learn about our Small Group and discipleship strategy going forward, as well as an opportunity to have a voice in our discipleship plans.
There will be food and childcare provided, as well as teaching from Doug Matlock, the Discipleship and Small Groups Ministry Partner for Oklahoma Baptists.
RSVP today for food and childcare »
Launch Week | August 17-21st
Who is your community?
August 21st will be a big day for us at CHBC! As we look at our small groups and how they continue growing, we are expanding and multiplying in order to keep groups feeling like a family. In addition to launching some exciting new groups, we want to make sure that we are giving our church family the best opportunity to stay in meaningful community together. Get ready to join us August 21st to meet some new people and make some new friends!
As we settle back into the “normal” fall routines, this is also a great opportunity to invite friends, family, and co-workers to come back to church if they’ve been out of the habit.
Back to School Bash | August 17th
Our family ministry team is hosting a fall kickoff for the whole family including a meal, activities for all ages, and a special worship service featuring Caleb and Jeremy Freeman.
Our special Back to School Service featuring Caleb & Jeremy Freeman isn’t just for students… it’s for everyone! If you’ve never heard their story, this is a great opportunity to be encouraged by the way that God works out miracles for His glory!
Come hang out, bring the family, and grab a free dinner from 5:30-7:30 on Wednesday, August 17th.
Potluck Lunch | August 21st
Right after launch week on August 21st, we’re doing having a good ole fashioned all-church potluck lunch right after service! We’ll supply the meat and beverages (Raising Canes chicken) you just bring the sides and desserts.
Let’s get together and have a big family meal!
Whiz Kids Tutors Needed!
You can help! Did you know that Whiz Kids students show improvement in reading test scores, build a higher self-esteem and self-confidence, and build a personal relationship with God? This is a powerful ministry to our community! There are three awesome ways you can help: full-time tutor, substitute tutor, or food team.
We will have a training on September 7th and then Whiz Kids will start on September 14th.

CHBC has been filling in to meet needs in incredible ways! We still have a few needs.
We have a family of 8 (2 adults and 6 children) who have signed a lease for a new apartment, here are some areas to help:
Apartment Move in/setup moved to THIS Saturday (8/13) @ 10am.
This will predominantly be a time for set up and cleaning the space before they move in.
The only item not moved in that needs multiple people is the couch.
And any of the furniture still needed listed below
They will move in (now) on Monday the 14th

In addition to these physical needs, we need people who want to pour into this family and others just like this on different levels.
