For the past few years, we've been having summer classes on Wednesday nights in July. Summer can be hectic with people traveling, but we like to take the opportunity to gather people together, share a meal together and take a class together. This year we're offering three classes.
Pine Cove Camp in the City brings summer camp to Crossroads. This is our third year doing Camp in the City, and we absolutely love it. It provides a full week for kiddos to study God's word while having a ton of fun with other kiddos. Pine Cove brings counselors and all kinds of games and activities.
Kid's Camp allows for kiddos entering fourth through sixth grades to get away and enjoy summer camp. It's at Mt. Lebanon in Cedar Hill, Texas. Kid's Camp is a great chance for kiddos to get away from daily life and begin making their faith their own. Every year we see kiddos grow in their faith and see leaders start to emerge as that growth happens. We'll have Chapel and worship twice a day, and the rest of the day is filled with swimming, hiking and all kinds of other activities.
On June fourth after, Second Service in the Gathering Space downstairs, we'll have a LEAD Meeting. We'll spend an hour gathering together as leaders of the church to celebrate what God is doing in and through CBC and to pray for what he'll continue to do through us.
LEAD Meetings are open to any leaders at CBC. We consider a leader anyone who serves at CBC in any capacity, so if you're a greeter, small group leader, Children's Ministry teacher or you volunteer in any other way, we'd love to see you there! You can sign up for childcare using the button below.
We’re having a Parent Dedication for new parents to dedicate their lives to raising their new babies for Christ on Mothers Day, May 14th, during both services. We believe the church is a family at CBC, and part of being a family is supporting each other. That’s our goal for Parent Dedications. To provide families with the support from the body as they raise their child for Christ. If you want to be a part of our Parent Dedication, sign up using the button below and Chantel will be in contact with you.
Our Community Picnic is April 23rd from 4:00-6:00 p.m. The Picnic is a great opportunity to get your small group, family or a group of friends or neighbors together to have a potluck picnic and enjoy a beautiful day together. We'll have the sand volleyball courts, fishing pond, gaga ball circle and bounce houses open to enjoy. This year, we're also provided every person a Bahama Bucks snowcone. Join us on the 23rd as we fellowship together.
As we gather together to celebrate our risen Christ, we want to take the time to celebrate those that have made the choice to follow Jesus with the public display of baptism. If you've never been baptized and are ready to publicly show you follow Jesus, sign up using the button below. You can get baptized during either our 9:00 or 10:45 a.m. services.
This year's Women's Retreat is March 24-26th. We're so excited for our women to have the opportunity to get away from the hustle and stress of everyday life, take some time to rest, grow and for some soul care. The weekend will include time in smaller groups, worshiping and listening to guest speaker Kelli Gotthardt, the daughter–in-law of Dick and Linda Gotthardt. Kelli will be speaking out of her new book.
CBC Essentials is a two-week, crash course one the mission, values and core beliefs of CBC. It's the next step for anyone who is ready to start getting connected at CBC and start making CBC their church home. It'll be lead by pastors and elders, and you'll have the opportunity to get to know other people in that same stage. We're so excited to continue getting to know you as you get to know us.
Here at CBC we believe the church is a family. The only way people can get to know each other as a family is through time spent together. We want to create opportunities for you to get to know us as we get know you, and one way we do that is through a Newcomers Lunch. We try to have one of these once or twice a year, so if you started visiting or attending CBC and haven't been to one of these yet, we'd love to have you. There will be childcare available, but your kiddos are more than welcome to attend the lunch as well.
At CBC, we value building in to and equipping our leaders. We see this happen all the time through small conversations and ministry specific trainings all year, but once a year we like to gather all of our leaders together in one space. On January 21st from 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. we'll gather together to focus on becoming better leaders. We're bringing in a guest speaker, Dr. Stephen Macchia, who will speak about finding rest in God and how that helps us discover His purposes for us.
The older I have gotten the more I have realized how hard it is to balance life, school, friends, family, and serving in a local church, especially for high school students. If we are all honest we could use a little more free time. I'm talking serious free time here, no tests, deadlines, or work...nothing. Imagine a weekend, two full days, where all you have to do is nothing. No meetings, no gatherings, no deadlines...it's just you, your closest friends, and time to not worry about what's next. We call it Pine Cove No Agenda weekend.
On December 3rd we're having our annual Women's Christmas Brunch. The Brunch is a long-standing CBC tradition, and this year we're bringing in Margaret Feinberg to be the guest speaker.
Over the past four years we've dedicated a Sunday to going out and reaching the surrounding community for Christ. This year, we're going to serve our older and wiser saints that can't make it to churches. We're going to send teams to eight senior care centers around the area to lead services at 9:00 a.m. We'll have people teach, lead music, take pictures, set up and simply love on people. Then, after the services, we'll all gather back at CBC to celebrate together with ONE service at 10:45 a.m.
On November 6th after Second Service in the Gathering Space downstairs we'll have our last LEAD Meeting of the year. We'll spend the afternoon gathering together as leaders of the churchand to pray for CBC as we look forward to 2017.
LEAD Meetings are open to any leaders at CBC. We consider a leader anyone who serves at CBC in any capacity, so if you're a greeter, small group leader, Children's Ministry teacher or you volunteer in any other way, we'd love to see you there!
Join us October 30th from 6:00-7:30 p.m. for our annual Trunk-or-Treat! We'll have plenty of candy, trunks, bouncies and many more activities for the kiddos. We'll be set up in the circular drive on the northwest side of the building with parking located in the upstairs parking lot. Invite your friends, family and neighbors and enjoy a cool fall evening in community.
During the weekend of October 28-30th the men of CBC will head to Pine Cove Bluffs for our Men's Retreat. The weekend will feature guest speaker Kevin McKee, Senior Pastor of The Chapel in Baton Rouge. We'll spend the weekend worshipping, gathering in larger and smaller groups and pushing each other toward Christ.
Pine Cove is our annual Middle School retreat in Tyler, Texas! The purpose of the weekend is to develop community within our Middle School ministry, and our relationship with God in an encouraging and uplifting setting. Being with hundreds of other students help our Middle School students relate and connect with others that are walking and growing closer to Jesus in this life too. It’s fun, high energy, and full of sugar! Your Middle School student doesn’t want to miss this!
If you're newer to CBC, and have been looking to get involved at CBC, CBC Essentials in a perfect next step. The class will be lead by elders and pastors, and they will spend two weeks walking through our history and values.
On September 18th at 4:00 p.m. we're having our Community Picnic. We'll have food, a volleyball tournament, fishing competition, cookie contest and many more activities. Invite your friends and family, and join us in gathering together as we build community together.
We see new faces every week at CBC, and we want to help people get connected! If you’re new to CBC in the last 8 months or so, come to lunch after the second service on September 11th. As a staff, we love the opportunity for new visitors or attendees to get to get connected with other newcomers, and get to know some of our pastors and staff members a bit better. We'll have childcare available for kiddos in Kindergarten or younger, and we'd love for you to bring your kiddos in first grade or above to lunch with the family. Sign up below, so we make sure we have plenty of food.
On August 28th after second service in the Gathering Space Downstairs, we'll have our third LEAD Meeting of the year. With the school year starting up we like to take time to talk about the year ahead at CBC. We'll spend time giving an update on each ministry at CBC and talking about our goals for the year.
On August 27th at 8:00 a.m., the men of CBC will gather together to enjoy a meal and discuss what's coming up in Men's Ministry this year. This is the best opportunity to simply get to know some of the guys at CBC, learn about Men's Ministry or join a D-Group. We'll have plenty of coffee and delicious breakfast tacos as well.
Bridges International is a caring community of Christ-followers committed to serve, promote social connections and engage in spiritual conversations with international students so that students become leaders internationally.
Pine Cove's Camp in the City is coming to CBC August 1st-5th. Camp in the City is the excitement of their summer camp packed into five days at CBC. Campers will spend time in the word, while also expending plenty of energy participating in activities and playing games.
On July 31st we're celebrating baptisms. We love celebrating the public declaration of a person's choice to follow Jesus. If you're following Jesus and haven't been baptized yet, sign up below and join us on the 31st for our baptism. We're excited to celebrate your decision with you.
Our middle school retreat weekend is a great opportunity for our students to have community with each other and their families.

Kid's Camp is an overnight camp at Mt. Lebanon in Cedar Hill June 13-17th. It's for students who finished 3rd, 4th or 5th grade last year, and is a great chance to get away and spend a week focusing on God. Along with bible studies, students will play sports, swim, go through ropes courses and many other activities.
We are having a Lead Meeting on May 1st. Our Lead Meetings happen a few times a year when we gather our leaders to encourage, train, and look forward to what’s next at CBC. If you are a small group leader, elder, deacon, and or serve in some capacity at CBC, you’re a leader.
On April 17th we're having our annual D-Group Banquet. We'll have dinner and hear from speaker Kai Nilsen, author of Renew Your Life: Discovering the Wellspring of God's Energy.
