About Us
Welcome to Callie Harbin Baptist Church. Learn more about our beliefs, mission, and the leadership God has blessed us with.
7 Core Values
Here at CHBC we hold the Bible in highest regard. We are committed to these core values that guide our ministry and lives:
-
Expository preaching (2 Tim. 4:2)
Here at CHBC we hold the Bible in highest regard. This is why we believe in expository preaching, which simply means to expose what God has already said in His word. We are careful not to impose our thoughts, ideas, or philosophies into the scripture. -
Biblical Discipleship (2 Tim. 2:2)
We believe that we are to pour our lives into others. We are to take what we have been taught and systematically teach others also. -
Global Missions (Acts 1:8)
Here at CHBC we believe that our God is a global God, and therefore we as the church must think globally. We are to reach out around the world and partner with believers in evangelism, church planting, and Bible training. -
Exponential Reproduction (Acts 13:1-3)
At CHBC, we believe that God wants to expand His kingdom. We believe that God’s desire is to multiply the church body by planting new churches with mature believers. -
Spiritual Worship (John 4:23)
We believe that we were created to be eternal worshipers of Christ. We believe that we are to daily worship Christ through prayer, His word, and music so that we may come together corporately on Sundays with one heart of worship towards Him. -
Sacrificial Love (I John 4:7)
Here at CHBC we believe we serve a God of great love and that He has designed us to express that love. We are to show our love first towards Him with all our heart and soul. We are to also show that love to our neighbors as well as brothers and sisters in Christ. -
Christ-Like Holiness (Col. 1:27)
We believe that Christ has come into our lives not just to save us from the destruction of Hell, but to live out a life of glory to God through us. We want to live in a way that is pleasing to Christ, that others may see the change that he has made in us. This is not done by rules and regulations, but by allowing Him to live through us.
The Simple Plan of Salvation
God, the Creator of the universe, loves you and wants to have a personal relationship with you. God set forth His plan of redeeming grace, documented in the Bible, to reconcile you unto Him through his death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This is called the simple plan of salvation:
-
Realize that we are all sinners and separated from God.
Romans 3:10 - As it is written, There is none righteous, no not one.
Romans 3:23 - For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. -
Realize that God sent Jesus to die for us.
John 3:16 – For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Romans 5:8 - But God commended his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. -
Realize that salvation is a free gift. No amount of “doing good” will find favor with God.
Romans 6:20 – For the wages of sin is death: but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Ephesians 2:8,9 - For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast. -
Realize that you receive this gift by putting your trust in Jesus Christ and accepting Him as your personal Savior.
Romans 10:9 – That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
