DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE

Sue Demmons, National Director, CBS Canada Are you looking for a Bible study?

There are so many wonderful resources available today......each one offers something a little different. What makes Community Bible Study Canada unique? In a word “DISCOVERY” let me explain...

Philosophy

The first Community Bible Study started as a result of prayer, and the ministry continues to undergird everything it does with the same emphasis on prayer. This is God's ministry, and we seek to do everything for His glory.

Since its inception the philosophy of Community Bible Study has always been that it is every person's Bible study, available to all. Each man, woman, youth, and child will be so cared for and loved that all will feel comfortable in their class regardless of background, education, church involvement, ethnicity, or economic status. Our desire is to build unity in the midst of diversity in our community.

Community Bible Study makes every effort to stand in the centre of the mainstream of historic Christianity. We concentrate on the essentials of the Christian faith, not on denominational distinctives. As we grow in our love and respect for one another we learn that Christians can hold differing views on matters that are not essential to salvation. Regardless of these differences, we learn to love and care for each other as we grow in our knowledge of the Bible and in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

The focus of Community Bible Study is to glorify God. Leaders are volunteers who are called by God to their roles, and give of their time and talents out of love for Him. Shepherding occurs at every level so that each individual feels connected and cared for and does not operate in isolation. Each leader is trained for his/her role.

A Servants Team manual has been written to assist classes in operating as effectively and efficiently as possible. In it are guidelines that have been developed and found to be successful over the years. The ministry is constantly striving for excellence in all areas.
