Pastor's Weekly Email

Dear Friends,

I have a little challenge for you all...make some time this week to watch last Sunday's worship on our YouTube channel - The Church By The Sea.  It was moving.  We confirmed 7 teenagers, we had our 3rd mission moment, and God's Presence was all-throughout the service.  We also installed a new camera and audio system which everyone has said is a tremendous step up.  

We have a lot of things happening here at CBTS as we open up more and more.  Our Corporate Board met on March 14th and one of the items they would like to see is an inventory of the gifts our church possesses.  We know our congregation is full of amazing individuals that have all been blessed with unique talents and abilities. While not all of us may have the time to serve in a leadership capacity for CBTS, we believe that each one of us can serve by sharing our expertise where needed. Just as compound interest leads to greater gains, combining the individual expertise of our church members will lead to a significant impact for God's kingdom. To that end, we would like to ask you to complete this form to find out what expertise we do have in the congregation. Please use the following link to select your general area of expertise and type in your specific area of expertise in the box below. We promise you will only be contacted should a need arise.
