PASTOR’S NOTE
Hey Church Family,
I love how Acts 2:42 describes the early church: "They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship..."
The word fellowship comes from the Greek word koinonia, which means a deep, intimate sharing together through the Holy Spirit—a life of unity and partnership in Christ.
One of the things I love most about CHBC is the genuine love and unity we share. That kind of fellowship is a powerful testimony to the gospel, and I believe God is doing incredible things in and through our church because of it. He is faithful, and He is so good.
I also want to invite you into a special season of prayer. Beginning this Sunday, we'll provide a weekly prayer guide to help us seek the Lord together as one church family. Over the next three weeks, we'll focus on cultivating hearts of surrender, praying as Jesus taught us: "Your will be done."
I can't wait to worship with you this Sunday!
Pastor Chris
