Who We Are
CBU is a team of Spirit-led believers working to advance the gospel where it’s most needed. Founded in the early 1970s, we began by equipping Christians in the U.S. through Bible-teaching conferences. Over time, our vision expanded globally as the urgent need for gospel witness in underserved regions became apparent.
Today, our primary focus is in areas where Christianity has been pushed to the margins—where churches are shrinking rather than growing, and where the gospel is often unknown or misunderstood, especially in Europe.
What We Do
In many places today, the gospel is viewed as irrelevant or outdated. In post-Soviet Ukraine, Christianity is often seen as a fading tradition. In post-Christian Scotland, it’s considered a crutch for the unenlightened. These are not theoretical challenges—they are daily realities for millions.
To bring Christ’s hope into these contexts, we:
-
Plant churches in gospel-deprived regions.
-
Train local leaders and pastors.
-
Develop humanitarian projects to meet practical needs and open doors for ministry.
As the Holy Spirit leads, we seek to invest our resources and strengths faithfully where they can have the greatest impact.
Where We Work
CBU missionaries have served across Africa, Latin America, Asia, and Europe, responding to both spiritual and humanitarian needs.
We prioritize regions that are under-reached by the global Church—places like Ukraine, Scotland, and Nepal—through:
-
Local church planting
-
Leadership development
-
Gospel-centered humanitarian aid
Our current focus is Europe. Through the Restore St. David’s initiative, we are establishing a ministry training center that will serve as a hub for equipping and sending church planters, missionaries, and evangelists across the continent.
