Our Ministry

CBU began as a Bible-teaching conference ministry equipping believers for faithful service. Through an open door God opened in Ukraine in 1990, we now focus on reaching Europe with the gospel through equipping church planters, missionaries, and evangelists. 

WHY EUROPE?

Out of all the regions of the world, Europe remains the dark continent. It is deeply secular, spiritually closed, morally relativistic, and resistant to the gospel. Following in the footsteps of Paul (Acts 19:9-10), training leaders is a key to gospel advance. There is a huge need for contextually-appropriate church planter and missionary training in Europe that not only lays biblical foundations but also equips for practical leadership and spiritual ministry.

TRAINING LEADERS

Taking the gospel to the nations was Jesus’ idea. Like Europe today, the world Jesus looked out at was marked by significant gospel need: there were no churches, no training centers, and no Christians outside of Jerusalem! His answer to the gospel need of the world was not large evangelistic crusades in all the big cities; rather, Jesus focused on training key leaders through personal mentoring, high-quality teaching, and Spirit-empowered sending. 

We are following the Jesus model for gospel advance in Europe. We will equip leaders with theological foundation, practical ministry skills, and dynamic spirituality to plant, lead, and grow Christ-centered, Spirit-empowered, contextually appropriate churches. God has uniquely positioned CBU: through our years of experience, our network of relationships, and the skill-set we offer, we can get the job done.

A MINISTRY TRAINING CENTER

We believe God is calling us to meet the need for a training center in Europe. We intend to catalyze our strategic assets to establish a high-quality center that will equip a generation of pastors, church planters, and leaders for gospel ministry in Europe. We aim to establish a training center that is comprehensive, contextual, community-based, local-church oriented, accessible, and excellent.

In partnership with Centrepoint Church in Bathgate, Scotland, we have developed plans for a missions training center. This will serve as a launchpad for missionaries and church planters to go to the harvest fields of Europe. Both Europeans and those from other places will be trained, equipped, and sent out across this continent.

HOW WILL WE THIS GET DONE?

We have developed a contextually appropriate, biblically-based, theologically sound, and Spirit-oriented core curriculum. We work with pastors and churches across Europe. Building on our twenty-nine years of ministry involvement in Europe, we have experience. Now it’s time to get the training center built.

A STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP

We have plans, but we need your partnership. To turn the dream into reality, to accomplish the vision God has given us, we need your help.

As part of a development project to build a village centre in a residential area, we have been designated a tract of land for the building. This is located in Bathgate, Scotland. Between Edinburgh and Glasgow and accessible to the Edinburgh airport, this is the perfect location for our training centre. We are raising money to build the buildilng. To get this done, we need the body of Christ to give generously and courageously to this project.

Through building this ministry training center, you will be leaving a legacy, the fruit of which will echo for generations of gospel advance in Europe.
