What to Expect

Our services aim to focus us on the Lord and His gospel, Jesus Christ.  We devote ourselves to the public reading of Scripture (1 Timothy 4:13), to singing with thankfulness in our hearts to God (Colossians 3:16), to the teaching and preaching of His Word  (2 Timothy 3:16-4:2), and to prayer (Colossians 4:2).  Ordinarily, on the first Sunday of every month, we celebrate the Lord’s Supper together during the worship service.  All of this we do in the name of Jesus Christ, to the glory of God (Colossians 3:17, 1 Corinthians 10:31). 


Here are answers to other
commonly asked questions:

What should I wear? 
On any given Sunday with CBF, you could see everything from bow ties and dresses to t-shirts and jeans…so just come as you are.
 

Where can I park? 
You can access our parking lot through the alley on the east side of our building.  If that’s full, you can park along N. Lafayette Ave. on the west side of our building.  If all of this is full, you’re welcome to park at or alongside Lulu D Haddon Park just a block up N. Lafayette to the north of our building.

At CBF, we love children!  Please check out our “Children’s Ministry” page to learn more about how we seek to minister to them.
 

What are the sermons like?
Very simply, we preach the Bible, passage by passage, book by book.  We believe that God speaks to us today through His Word, so we need to hear, understand, and apply what He tells us to all of life.  This means that the sermon is always the centerpiece of our worship service.  Feel free to watch our most recent service {here}, and to listen to more sermons in our sermon archive.
 

What is the music like?
In Ephesians 5, Paul tells us to “…be filled with the Spirit, addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart…”. This informs how we carry out our musical worship at CBF.  Our singing is a corporate activity through which we seek to praise God and encourage one another in the faith.  To this end we aim to promote congregational singing, so that the main thing we hear is one another’s voices, not the musicians leading us from the front.  Most of these songs are selected from the Hymns of Grace hymnal, which contains a healthy variety of historic hymns and contemporary songs that are faithful to God and build us up in His truth.
