Explore CHBC
How do I join CHBC? What is church membership? What is the mission and vision of CHBC? The membership process of CHBC begins by you attending one of our quarterly series of classes called Explore CHBC.

The course lasts three consecutive weeks and will allow you to get to know the history, mission, vision, and beliefs of CHBC. No registration is necessary just attend session one. Our next series of classes begins August 3 at 5 PM.

We are introducing a new way to get CHBC Alerts via GroupMe. This group has been set up as an Announcement Only group, so only the Church Staff will be able to post to the group.

Greet and Treat
Greet and Treat is an annual outreach to our neighborhoods on the night of Halloween. Your home becomes a place of hope and love on a night when children are out knocking on doors. The church will provide you with bags that include an invitation to church, a gospel tract, and a treat. You provide a home where children are greeted with kindness. You can pass out the bags from your door, or put a game on your front driveway that encourages people to stop and linger for a moment. Gather a few friends from church, turn on your porch light, and be ready to Greet and Treat on Oct. 31. Greet and Treat Bags will be ready for pick up on Oct. 26.
