CHBC is a Baptist Church under the covering of the Baptist
Union of Victoria.
We believe that God has uniquely gifted each believer to
serve Him and that such service will have the greatest impact
when we receive the support and encouragement from one another
in the local fellowship. We thus believe that the local church
is still the primary means whereby God enables us to learn
and grow together in His love, and in our understanding of
His purposes. |
| |
| We enjoy meeting together each Sunday to celebrate
God's love. The preaching is life related and inspiring. We believe
that God still touches lives and desires to bring wholeness and
freedom to all. Many within the fellowship can testify to the
power and love of God to transform lives. We are excited by what
God is doing amongst us. |
Our vision at CHBC helps define who we are and what we see
as priorities for our church. Our vision states that we are
committed to ..
"Building and Equipping
Disciples for Christ." |
| |
| SOME OF OUR FOUNDATIONAL BELIEFS ARE .. |
- that the Bible is God's Word to us
and is the authority by which we live.
- that God is one God in three persons … Father,
Son and Holy Spirit.
- that salvation is available only when
we acknowledge our failure to live up to God's standard
and when we accept in faith the completed work of Jesus Christ.
This is sometimes called being born again.
- that at salvation the Holy Spirit enters
our lives enabling us to become more like Jesus. He equips
us to serve Jesus and make a difference in the community
in which we live.
- that there are two special ceremonies
Jesus commanded us to observe ...
- BAPTISM by which believers express
their faith and commitment to following Jesus; and
- COMMUNION, which reminds us of the
sacrifice of Christ. Communion is celebrated on the first
Sunday of each month.
