CHBC uses a ministry team model.  The team structure provides an excellent avenue through which individuals may use their gifts and talents to serve one another and others.  Active teams are listed below.  If you are interested, notify the church office.

Bring your artistic talents and desires to share, develop fledgling talents or find new undiscovered talents.  Tom Scott, a gifted artist who prefers water color paintings, leads the group.  Many of their works are displayed in the Heritage Hall during the annual Expressions Exhibit in August.

Spiritual Formation

You are invited to a three-year plan of reading the Bible
following the assigned lectionary readings Monday-Thursday
and the readings for the upcoming Sunday on Friday.

Spiritual Formation at CHBC is about guiding and nurturing each person to more nearly and fully "walk in the way of Jesus." We strive to teach the Biblical Story, to impart the Christian heritage, and to nurture this faith community in being the people of God.

Among the ways we seek to discern what it means to walk with God are various classes that meet on Sunday morning from 9:30 until 10:30.  The classes include:

Agape/Harmony Class - Carolyn Posey, teacher

Harbor Class - Kelly Woggon and Chris Conver, teachers

co-ed class for older adults meets in classroom off Fellowship Hall

Barnabas Class - Ed Canada and Rick Forest, co-teachers

Youth Sunday School Classes - meet in the Youth Room located below the sanctuary.  Classes are offered for 6-7th grade girls, 6-7th grade boys, 8-9th graders, and 10-12th graders.

Children's Sunday School Classes - all elementary aged classes meet on the 3rd floor of the Burhans Education Building.
