CBC ANNUAL REPORT 2017-2018

Thanks for visiting and checking us out. We wanted to give you a chance to know more about us so that if you do decide to join, you kinda understand who we are, what we do, and where we're going.

We understand that committing to a church is tough and awkward like any other relationship but here are a few things we promise:

1. We're not perfect. At all. In fact, we're probably very far from that...and we believe that's a good thing. It means that we still have a long way to go in terms of programs, people, and baggage. But this leads us to #2.

2. We promise to always move forward. We hope to always learn from our mistakes, learn from other churches and resources, and learn together. While we're not perfect, we strive to always grow deeper...but there's a reason for this and that's #3.

3. Our foundation and hope is Jesus and his Good News. We believe that while you see the programs, you see the people, and you see the other stuff, what really drives us is the real living Jesus. We aren't perfect but we trust that He is. We move forward to conform our youth group more and more like Jesus because he's our foundation.

This past year we were able to welcome 5 new youth into the local body of faith here at CBC. Our understanding and expectations of commitment is built out of the understanding of gospel implications that they are committing themselves to a people, a mission, and the person of Jesus. We encourage you CBC members who are mature to take your membership seriously and to equip these new members as you have also covenanted to do. They will need your prayers and your guidance in this journey of santification.

World Changers took place in Houston for the first time ever and more than that, it took place at CBC. Initially our youth ministry was going to skip this year of participating at World Changers but when we got word that it was going to be held in Houston we had to respond. Why was it in Houston? Because of the devastation of Hurricane Harvey groups from all over the world committed themselves to serving the people of this city. As as a church, we decided that we had to join up. And because we are so indebted to other churches hosting us while we go out of town, we also committed to being the host church this year. It was truly an amazing experience.

Special thanks to all the volunteers and workers during that week. Your efforts made lasting impacts on many churches, leaders, and the kingdom. Be proud.

CBC YOUTH exists to glorify God by making disciples of all people through Gospel truths and Gospel living. Our hope is to equip all youth to love God with all their heart, soul, and mind as well as loving their neighbor, community, and church.

Our youth ministry serves students 6th grade to 12th grade as well as to their families. Chinese Baptist Church is primarily a commuter church, which means that families and members of the church drive away from their place of residence in order to worship and serve at CBC. This creates great challenges but also great rewards for our ministry. For one, our students are represented from every major school district within the greater Houston area. We generally reach out and minister to second generation Asian-Americans, our ministry welcomes every and all people from different backgrounds, lifestyles, communities, and baggage.
