English Ministry Vision Statement:
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!
