Your Role as Leader in the CBC Mission

       Whether you are an ABF leader, a leader in another ministry, or another disciple-maker, your role in the CBC mission is very important.

       CBC exists to

make disciple-makers

for the glory of God among the nations

      What is a disciple-maker?  (Any disciple should be a disciple-maker).    A disciple-maker is a life-long learner who loves God, loves people, and lives as a redemptive agent in the world, making other disciples (disciple-makers).         

How will we do this?  Our church-wide strategy is as follows:

We make disciples by

•       Experiencing God’s presence in Worship,

•       Embracing authentic Community, and

•       Engaging in God’s Mission to the world

       The "community" circle is often lived out in an Adult Bible Fellowship (ABF), which should strive to be an (extended) "family on mission" or "oikos."  (We will explain more about this in later blog posts).  Within this "community" or ABF, the specific strategy and tools for disciple-making should be based on ten principles or criteria.  The disciple-making method should be,

1. Christ-centered
2. Biblically-based
3. Spirit-empowered
4. Grace-driven
5. Reproducible
6. Context-relevant
7. Transformational
8. Relationally authentic
9. Motivated by the Great Commandment
10. Strategic yet organic

       We will continue to talk about these 10 criteria for a disciple-making methodology as we go along.  For now, please note that these stand in the background of why we are doing what we are doing in the way that we are doing it.

       Thank you for letting God use you as a disciple-maker!
