It is our vision to help win our area for Christ. Part of God's call to the local body is to go to the ends of the earth and preach the Gospel. The Bible says in Mark 16:15, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Each summer Country Bible Church conducts many different outreaches including tent meetings in surrounding cities showing people the love of God and flooding them with the Gospel message. At each service an uncompromised salvation message is preached and people are saved.
Evangelism at Mardi Gras is also a trip that is taken each year with Church for the Harvest, Pastor Mike Bartolomeo.
CBC has been involved in directing camps, building churches, and preparing youth for leadership. The worship team has traveled to play and minister to others, and has worked together with other churches to fulfill God's plan for our region. We believe that unity with the surrounding believers will help us accomplish that goal.
Country Bible Church has supported and sent mission outreach teams to the Arctic Circle, Native American Reservations, Canada, Africa, Arizona, Russia, Jamaica, Europe, Spain, Australia, China, Sri Lanka, India, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Ukraine, the borders of Mexico and the Philippines. During these trips, we have helped to plant several churches, and we have ministered to thousands of people. Country Bible Church continues to go to the nations and support those who give their life on foreign soil for the sake of the Gospel.
Country Bible Church regularly hosts a special service at the Destiny Center for visitors. We call this service BIG Sunday, Bring In Guests. The Lord impressed Pastor Steve to hold special services for those who may not come to a usual church service, moreover to minister to them at their level.
Luke 5:3-4 tells us: Then He (Jesus) got into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And He sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat. When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, "Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch."
When you are ministering to people who are not born again, you must be careful not to get too far out. Otherwise, you will lose them. Unless you speak to a person on a level that they are able to comprehend, you will fail to reach them. When Jesus finished speaking to the multitude, He told his disciples to "launch out into the deep". The deep speaks of a place where mature believers and Christians established in the Word are able to understand further truths.
A BIG Sunday service includes music, drama and refreshments. Guests are also able to meet members of our pastoral staff and can tour our facility. Designed with visitors in mind, these services include a message preached revealing God's unconditional love and the plan He has for mankind. The truth found in God's Word leads them to freedom in Christ.
