church resources
pulpit supply
CCBS provides pulpit supply to support local churches by connecting them with trained, theologically grounded speakers who faithfully preach and teach God’s Word.
This ministry assists congregations during pastoral transitions, sabbaticals, vacations, and illness, ensuring continuity in biblical teaching and spiritual care. Those who serve offer thoughtful, Christ-centered sermons shaped by both academic training and ministry experience, strengthening churches and advancing the mission of equipping the body of Christ.Â
ministry formation
The Ministry Formation Program at CCBS partners with churches and faith-based organizations to develop students through both classroom learning and hands-on ministry experience. Focused on active Christian service, students serve in areas like children’s ministry, small groups, and community outreach, ensuring they graduate with both knowledge and a servant’s heart. Because students are required to complete ministry service hours, this program also provides churches with reliable, Christ-centered volunteers to help support and strengthen their ministries.
