What's happening
CHBC Summer Worship
This year we will continue to have 2 worship services throughout the summer – one at 9 am and 10:45 am. Children’s Church will be offered in the 10:45 service, but the 9 am Sunday School will not be resuming until the fall. The final Sunday School will be on June 17th.
CHBC Sunday Evening Service
After prayerful discussion, our elders have decided to move ahead with plans for a Sunday evening service, with a target launch date of Sunday, September 13, 2026.
Over the summer, our staff, elders, and Worship Committee will continue working through the details, including service structure, volunteer needs, music, hospitality, and other practical matters. A group of interested participants and potential launch team members will also be meeting later this summer to pray, connect, and prepare together.
At this stage, this is simply an FYI for the whole congregation. More information will be shared as plans develop. In the meantime, please join us in thanking God for his guidance so far, and in praying for wisdom, unity, and clarity as we prepare for the fall. Our hope is that this evening service would create more space for people to encounter Christ, grow in meaningful relationships, and experience the warmth and hospitality of our church family.
