Community Bible Study classes are composed of people from many different churches; it is designed to complement not compete with the local church. CBS recognizes that the Lord has chosen the local church as His main channel of ministry. It is our goal to encourage class members to belong to and actively support their local churches and to be servants and leaders in their congregations.
As class members grow in faith and in their knowledge of God's Word they become better equipped to serve in their own churches. Leadership skills learned in CBS increase commitment to Jesus Christ and in turn strengthen the local church.
We are very grateful for the churches that permit CBS to use their facilities. It is our goal to leave the church property in even better condition than it was found and to avoid inconveniencing the church in any way. In fact, we desire that our presence be a blessing. At the end of the class year, a contribution that is a percentage of the class receipts is made to the host churches.
Leaders in Community Bible Study are called volunteers who love the Lord and His Word and receive no remuneration. Only employees at the National Service Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado and at the Training Office are compensated.
