Below are the main dates which affect the whole church this term.
The most significant change is to the evening services (due to the imminent building work). For the next few months, both evening congregations will meet as one, and enjoy worshipping God together.
The ‘6.30’ style services will have reflective worship and preaching,
The ‘Transform’ style services will have lively worship and interactive talks and the other style services will be explained as we go along.
The format of each evening will be:
6.30pm – prayer  / 7pm – service / 8pm – coffee / 8.30 – informal worship
- Please come to whichever parts you are able
For our church anniversary this year, we are looking forward to hosting Dr. Simon Steer (principal, London School of Theology) and Revd. Grenville Overton (regional minister - team leader, Southern Counties).
Church members are expected to be at the Church Vision Meetings, unless circumstances prevent them.  
Please prayerfully prepare for Ministries Sunday and Gift Sunday, which are opportunities to invest time and money in God’s vision for CBC.
All-age services are where Junior Church join with Adult Church for the whole service (except for the very young).
Freedom in Christ teaching is available on CD (order in the foyer).
For more information on our small groups, any of the other activities, please speak to one of the leaders, or fill in a form in the entrance hall.
