Directions

 

United we stand, together we win.

United we stand strong;

together, we get the job done.

 

We live at a time of painful division; the Lord is calling his people to powerful unity.

CBU was born in the power of the Holy Spirit. At Pentecost, people partook of the outpouring of the Spirit, and through the Spirit, came to share together in God. That is, as the Spirit incorporates us into the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:13), we all drink of the Spirit, and share together in the gift of the Spirit. 

The Holy Spirit empowers us together to fulfil the mission of God. At our annual November Gathering, we're going back to our roots - to be refreshed in the Person and Power of the Holy Spirit, reminded that God has called us to be:

One People, submitted to One Lord, empowered by One Spirit, faithfully executing One Mission.

Jim is the President-emeritus of CBU and continues to provide oversight and input as we embrace God's agenda for gospel advance in the nations. He and Mary Jo met in McRae, Georgia, and have been married for 55 years. From its 1974 origins as a conference ministry to amazing mission opportunities around the world, God continues to use CBU as a catalyst for Spirit-empowered ministry. 

Paul Boyd

WORSHIP LEADER

Paul Boyd

Paul has a great gift to lead people into the presence of God through Christ-centred, Spirit-empowered worship. Beautifully blending the new with old, Paul has a well-developed appreciation for the old hymns we all love and the fresh expression of what God is saying today (Matthew 13:52). As both a pastor and a worship leader, Paul has been part of the CBU family for many years and it is a delight to have him back with us for our November gathering.
