Currently Studying: Psalms

The book of Job addresses a millennia-old question: Why does a good God allow suffering? It explores the various theories people have offered in response to this troubling problem. Perhaps no other book of the Bible addresses such raw and vulnerable suffering. We learn from Job’s painfully honest example that it’s okay to struggle and question in times of great suffering and loss—provided we keep taking those questions to God and don’t lose faith in Him. We also gain wisdom on what to do and especially what not to do when those we love go through difficult times. Given the nature of Job’s themes, participants may be surprised by the encouragement they receive from this study.

Although Genesis is an ancient book, it speaks to some of the biggest questions we have today: Is there a God? If so, what is He like? Why is there evil in the world? Why are we here, and where can we find purpose and hope? In this course, which covers the first 22 chapters of Genesis, participants will see that God created a beautiful world and gave people a noble calling in His creation. It explains how our world was fractured by human rebellion and presents the beginnings of God’s plan to put everything back together.

NextGen - Primaries, Juniors, Teen The children in these classes study the same material as the adults (Job and Genesis-Chapters 1-22).

MINISTRIES

Next Gen Ministry

Through a variety of activities such as Bible teaching, Scripture memory work, crafts, music, games and other activities, we seek to provide a nurturing environment where children can learn about Jesus' wonderful love for them. We also come alongside parents as they teach and train their children to live out God’s truths in their lives. We welcome your children to experience the love of Jesus through the loving servants in our CBS Children's Ministry. The Children's Program currently welcomes children from nursery age through 12th grade. However, due to student-teacher ratios, there may often will be a waitlist for the children's classes. NOTE: OUR CHILDREN'S PROGRAM IS CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING WAITLIST STATUS FOR ALL NEW PARTICIPANTS. REGISTRATIONS WILL BE CONSIDERED IN THE ORDER RECEIVED BASED ON AVAILABLE SPACE IN AGE APPROPRIATE CLASSES .
