The CBCGL English Ministry will be a channel of God’s grace by which He impacts our communities to manifest His glory. We will strive to fully love and worship God by responding to His Word in obedience, by cultivating discipleship, and by living in genuine fellowship as we intentionally witness for Christ, meet the needs of people in our congregation, and serve the needy in our communities. As a result, those we minister to will come to know Christ, and we will be a place of spiritual belonging that is culturally accessible, faithful to the Scriptures, impacts our society for Christ, and send His disciples into the world.
Soli Deo Gloria: to God alone be the glory!

Easter Sunday
Easter Sunday, also known as
Resurrection Sunday by some Christians, is the day of rejoicing that follows
the sorrow of Good Friday and Holy Saturday. For most Christians, Easter
is the celebration of Christ's resurrection from the dead. It bears
witness to God's enduring promise of eternal life. This year, as
part of the Easter season, we welcome our neighbors to join us on Sunday,
April 17th, from 1:30 - 2:30 PM for a Palm Sunday Celebration and Easter Egg
Hunt. We also invite you to join us for our Easter Sunday service at the McCarthy Middle School
in Chelmsford
on April 24th starting at 10 AM. Come hear the Good News of Jesus Christ
and learn the meaning of John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that
he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but
have eternal life."
