Mission Statement
“Giving care where needed most, to glorify and share God’s hope”
Inspired by Romans 12:13, “Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality,” our mission is to provide care and support to all individuals, reflecting God’s love and compassion.
The Care Team is ready to serve you!
Highlights from the Care Committee Presentation
The Importance of Disability Ministry
The Bible calls us to love our neighbors regardless of their societal status or abilities. The disability community is the largest minority group, yet often the most forgotten. At CSBF, we strive to demonstrate our love through actions, not just words.
How You Can Help
Welcoming Churchgoers: Treat individuals as people first, not defined by their disabilities. Avoid making assumptions and offer genuine kindness and understanding.
Inviting Others: If you know someone with a disability, invite them to visit CSBF. Share our accessibility features, the care team’s support, and offer to accompany them. Encourage them to contact our care team for any special accommodations they may need.
Achievements and Future Goals
Care Team Accomplishments:
Hosting respite events and providing educational resources.

No special training is required to help. By being kind, asking questions, and treating everyone with respect and dignity, you can help create a more inclusive and welcoming church environment.
