September 2010 Update

We are rejoicing in the grace of God and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

It is a privilege to be counted worthy to serve in the ministry of Christ.  Ministering to the saints of God is an awesome, yet, serious responsibility.  It is important for the Church and its ministers to return to the essential duties in which we have been called.

Much, if not most, of American Christianity is focused on the sensational rather than the eternal truth of God.  We seek the rewards of this life forsaking the eternal treasures of God.

Covenant Baptist Church is seeking the old paths where God is worshipped according to His regulations; where discipleship is fulfilled in teaching the whole counsel of God; where fellowship is not a country club but rooted in the fellowship we have in Christ; where ministry is the function of the church; and, where evangelism is not circus gimmicks but a substantial covenant in Christ.

As a result, this means we are focused on quality and not quantity.  We desire everyone to come to saving knowledge and fellowship with the saints, but we are building a fellowship of God’s people.  The church is for God’s people and evangelism is our commission to go and make disciples.

Therefore, CBC is not a place where we assimilate sinners but seek their transformation by regeneration and sanctification.

The modern Church is being typified as a Pharisaical institution.  Much of this is true and the reason is that the Church is catering to the world.

We have been commissioned to preach the word and to gather the elect into the fold.  This is our mission and one we take seriously.  If you are looking for a church that is serious about the religion of Jesus Christ, we invite you to find out more information by emailing us at covenant@covenantcommission.org

Please keep CBC in your prayers that God would use this congregation to advance Christ’s kingdom here in the heart of Georgia.

For Christ & Covenant,

James Brown Jr., Pastor
