BLESSED TO BE A BLESSING
A year ago, we were trying to figure out how to accommodate more campers and staff at CBC. We decided to build a new cabin that would give us much-needed bedrooms and meeting space. Our hope was to have it finished by early June, but that did not happen. The project was delayed. But thanks to many amazing volunteers, the cabin was finished in time for Youth Camp.

We need to think beyond the immediate... How can we impact our community, our churches and our country?
God's timing for this project gave us an opportunity to reflect on the wonderful, supportive community that He has blessed us with. It gave us a chance to dream about how to better live up to our mission: to make, mold and move disciples (Matt. 28:19). It emphasized that we must think beyond our immediate needs. So, we asked ourselves, how can CBC have a Kingdom-impact on our community, our churches, and our country?
MAKING, MOLDING, MOVING... FORWARD!
In response, we have purchased a neighbouring residential property with 2.8 acres of land and a 4-bedroom house! We have increased our summer registration capacity by 20%! We have hired an engineering firm to survey our current property and help us plan for future expansion. This is the first of what we hope are many exciting steps toward expanding our impact in our community and beyond!
We have purchased property!
We have increased registration!
We have begun to plan for the future!
We need to raise $150,000 by May 15, 2016!
We are prayerfully asking God to bless our efforts to make disciples and we are seeking donors to help us raise $150,000 by May 15 2016. These funds will help us pay for the down payment on the new property, the cost of surveys and plans, repairs to our baseball field (it was damaged by flooding and subsequent drainage repairs), and some other summer program costs.
