    CBCCS & THE PNBC

    Central Baptist Church of Camp Springs is a member of the Progressive National Baptist Convention (PNBC). 

    The Progressive National Baptist Convention, Inc., (PNBC) is a vital Baptist denomination with an estimated membership of 2.5 million people. PNBC was formed to give full voice, sterling leadership and active support to the American and world fight for human freedom. The convention was the convention-denominational home and platform for the late Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who addressed every annual session of the Convention until his death in 1968. New generations of Progressive Baptists are continuing the struggle for full voter registration, education, and participation in society, economic empowerment and development, and the realization of universal human rights and total human liberation for all people.

    Mission
    PNBC’s charge is “equipping pastors and churches to be effective in ministry and lifting our voice on behalf of the voiceless.”

    Vision
    The PNBC vision is to unite African Americans to positively impact the community. 

    Social Justice Initiatives 
    CBCCS and the Social Justice Ministry will focus on the certain initiatives set forth by the PNBC. When the Call-to-Action is given, please join us in our efforts! Please visit Social Justice Ministry to learn more about this ministry. We hope you will consider joining us!

    CHURCH COVENANT

    Having been led, as we believe, by the Spirit of God, to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as our Saviour and on the profession of our faith, having been baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, we do now in the presence of God, angels, and this assembly, most solemnly and joyfully enter into covenant with one another, as one body in Christ.

    We engage therefore, by the aid of the Holy Spirit to walk together in Christian love. To strive for the advancement of this church in knowledge, holiness, and comfort, to promote its prosperity and spirituality, to sustain its worship, ordinances, discipline, and doctrines. To contribute cheerfully and regularly to the support of the ministry, the expenses of the church, the relief of the poor, and the spread of the gospel throughout all nations.

    We also engage to maintain family and secret devotion, to religiously educate our children, to seek the salvation of our kindred and acquaintances, to walk circumspectly in the world, to be just in our dealings, faithful in our engagements, and exemplary in our deportment; to avoid all tattling, backbiting, and excessive anger; to abstain from the sale and use of intoxicating drinks as a beverage, and to be zealous in our efforts to advance the kingdom of our Saviour.

    We further engage to watch over one another in brotherly love, to remember each other in prayer; to aid each other in sickness and distress; to cultivate Christian sympathy in feeling, and courtesy in speech; to be slow to take offense, but always ready for reconciliation, and mindful of the rules of our Saviour to secure it without delay.

    We moreover engage that when we remove from this place, we will as soon as possible unite with some other church where we can carry out the spirit of this covenant and the principles of God's word.

    Humbly confessing our past sins, we pray for forgiveness, grace, and strength to keep these, our holy vows, for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord. And now unto Him who brought again from the dead, our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you that which is well pleasing in His sight, thorough Jesus Christ to whom be glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

    BIBLE STUDY CLASS

    For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather. Here at the Central Baptist Church of Camp Springs, we make Bible Study a priority. We offer multiple classes at noon, evening, and alternating Saturdays to cover a number of Bible principles. It is a priority because the Bible reads, “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." II Timothy 2:15  

    Please join us on Wednesday, as we study the Word of God so we can do what God has instructed us to do, which is to make disciples. "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." Matthew 28:19 

    We encourage each of you to read the Bible throughout the year. Linked here is a Bible Reading Plan for the New Year. Follow the plan and you'll read the entire Bible in a year. 

    Yours in Christ,
    Pastor Lincoln M. Burruss, Jr.

  • MEMBERS/STEPS FOR ACCEPTING CHRIST
    MEMBERS
    STEPS FOR ACCEPTING CHRIST

    The first step in accepting Jesus Christ is to acknowledge that we are all sinners saved by God’s Grace. Romans 3:23 - For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.

    Jesus paid the price for our sins. Romans 10:13 – For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

    We need to acknowledge that we were born in sin because of what happened back in the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve, with their disobedience to God. Sin is what brings death and separation from God.  Sin also means missing the mark.  The mark that we all should be aiming to is God. Once we acknowledge that we were born into sin, then we should call upon the name of Jesus, to be saved and have eternal life.

    Grace simply means God’s unmerited favor.  If we did anything to earn it or deserve it, it’s not Grace.  If God owes it to us because we’ve been a good person, or we’ve tried to do the best we can, it is not Grace.  Grace means that we get the opposite of what we deserve.  We deserve God’s wrath because we have sinned against Him.  Instead, He saves us by His Grace.   Grace is the favor of God, founded upon His Holiness. Through Grace, Salvation is freely given by God to undeserving sinners.  Grace is a gift from God – Salvation is indeed the most extraordinary expression of God’s Grace.  It’s by Grace we are saved.

    Accepting Jesus Christ into our lives and asking Him to cleanse us of our sins is the only true way to live an eternal life in Heaven.

    The second step in accepting Jesus Christ is to have faith and believe that God loves us so that He sent His only begotten son that we can have everlasting life. John 3:16 – For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

    God sent His only begotten Son to die in our place and to take away our sins. We receive forgiveness through faith in the blood and death of Jesus Christ.

    God had so much love for us that He sent His only begotten Son (Jesus, a perfect man without sin) to die for our sins, so that we could have everlasting life.

    Salvation comes through the faith and belief in God’s revealed purpose in His Son who dies for all.  Faith and belief in Jesus Christ is the only avenue to receiving the gift of Salvation.

    God sent His Son to pay the price for all so that we can be forgiven and saved from the punishment of Hell.  Jesus died in our place.  He did all this because He is a loving God, He provided the only escape way.

    We believe and have faith that He is the Son of God and that He came to die for us.  We know that He rose from the dead and have complete Victory over death.  We should open up our hearts and invite him to take over our lives.

     No matter what we have done, no matter how unworthy we think we are, He still loves us and wants us to come to know Him.  Won’t you accept God’s perfect gift of Love?  It’s been paid in full.

    The third step in accepting Jesus Christ is to repent of our sins and accept the Lord.

    Jesus Christ as our personal Savior. Acts 3:19 – Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.

    Repentance is not just saying, I’m sorry. “It’s turning away from the sin that separates us from God; reaching out, instead, to receive God’s forgiveness and the new life He offers”. Repentance is necessary for Salvation (Acts 3:19).  Repentance put our action to our words. 

    We must repent and ask God for forgiveness this means to acknowledge our sins and to be sorry for our sins and to confess our sins.  The Bible declares that “He is faithful and Just to forgive us.”

    We must first acknowledge within ourselves that we have sinned before God and come short of His glory.  We must confess our sins unto Him. True repentance will result in a change in our actions.

    We must change our way of thinking and turn away from our old ways and hear and believe as: “Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God” (Romans 10:17).

    Once we understand that we are sinners and that all have sinned, we need to turn to Jesus Christ for forgiveness by repenting and turning from our way to Gods way.

    The fourth step in accepting Jesus Christ is to confess and accept Him into our hearts. Romans 10:9-10 – That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Vs. – 10: For the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

    Jesus paid the highest price for us and because He loves us more than we could ever imagine, He was put to death by being crucified on the Cross.

    God’s word promises, “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt and will be saved.  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.  For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall and will be saved (Romans 10:9-10;13).” 

    When we accept Jesus Christ as our personal Savior, God comes to live within us (the Holy Spirit). Our body becomes His Temple, His abode, and an inner Chamber.

    By His Grace, God has already done everything to provide salvation to us.  Our part is to simply believe and receive.

    The very moment we commit our lives to Jesus Christ, the truth of His Word instantly comes to pass in our spirit.  Once we’ve accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior we become a new creature in Jesus Christ whereby old things are passed away and behold all things become new.

    Once we accept Him as our personal Lord and Savior He then becomes the Savior and Ruler of our lives.

     

    The first step in accepting Jesus Christ is to acknowledge that we are all sinners saved by God’s Grace.Romans 3:23 - For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Jesus paid the price for our sins. Romans 10:13 – For whosoever shall call upon the name

    MAJOR KILLERS
      
    PROSTATE CANCER 
    Did you know that one of the more common cancers that affect men is prostate cancer?  Prostate cancer is a disease that occurs when malignant (cancer) cells grow in the tissues of the prostate.  Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer that causes death in men after lung cancer.  It is a deadly disease that affects African-American men more than any other race. 
     
    To date, there are 1.8 million men in the United States that are cancer survivors and the National Cancer Institute estimates that 2,617,682 men live with prostate cancer in the United States. 
     
    BREAST CANCER 
    Did you know that the most common type of breast cancer is Ductal Carcinoma which begins in the lining of the milk ducts (thin tubes that carry milk from the lobules of the breast to the nipples)?  Another type of breast cancer is Lobular Carcinoma which begins in the lobules (milk glands) of the breasts.  Also, inflammatory breast cancer is an uncommon type of cancer in which the breasts become red, swollen, and warm.  The most invasive type of breast cancer is that which has spread from the breast ducts or lobules to surrounding normal tissue. Importantly, breast cancer can occur in both women and men, although male breast cancer is rare.  Most people are also unaware that there is a correlation between prostate cancer cells and breast cancer cells. In 2013, there were 232,340 new cases of female breast cancer and 2,240 men were diagnosed with the disease in the United States.

    Message from the Youth Minister

    Greetings my CBCCS family “ Hey” I am excited for what God is doing here at our church. Excited about working with our future, our Children (PROV 22:6). As we embark and embrace the will of God, The bible tells us repeatedly in His word how all children are a gift from God. Every single life, every child is a reward and blessing. Whether they’re bringing parents pride and joy, or they are teaching us how to be more patient and forgiving (WHEW).

    Children are a gift from God and a source for the growth of his kingdom here on earth (3 JOHN 1:4).Continuously Teaching from the source The bible, learning about what took place during ancient times and how it is relevant today (ECCLES 1: 9-11) , again I am so “excited” for the great team that’s in place, they have been, and they are still doing a MARVELOUS job! Give them woo! Woo! Please! Thank ya!

    We are looking forward to working with the parents also, without you the children cannot get to us, and get what God have for them. Let us take our (YOUNGSTARS) and guide them into becoming a Disciple for Christ. As the African proverb says “It takes a village to raise a child” my CBCCS we are that village!  C.O.G # CHILD OF GOD

             
    Age Range:  2 to 18
     
    Mission: The Youth Ministry is a part of the total ministry of the church. It is built upon a foundation of biblical faith and seeks to carry the message of salvation—God’s plan to save you from sin—in appropriate ways to all youth. The Youth Ministry attempts to point youth toward God and strives to help them become involved in the Great Commission.  The Great Commission requires each of us as Christians to make disciples or followers of Christ; to observe all that Jesus     commanded and to witness for Christ through the power of God’s Holy Spirit throughout the world.
     
    Purpose: The Youth Ministry recognizes that the spiritual part of life cannot be separated from the other aspects of life. The physical, mental, social and emotional development of a person has a great deal to do with one’s spiritual development. Therefore, the Youth Ministry Program consists of the following:
     
    Bible Study
    Discussions on specific topics
    Teen rap sessions
    Seminars,     arts, and crafts
    Bible Trivia/Draw Your Sword Competitions
    Trips and tours
    Roller/ice skating
    Self-development activities
    Lock-ins and retreats
    Plays and skits
    Potluck dinners, pizza night
    Praise night
    Basketball, volleyball and other activities

    The Youth Ministry also conducts a weekly Summer-in-the-Parking Lot*.  Each year in June, a Youth Recognition Service is held to recognize the accomplishments of the youth in school, church and the community. The Youth Ministry also recognizes other persons who are not members of CBCCS but have actively participated in the Youth Ministry throughout the year. 
     
    While the Youth Ministry is for all children and teens at Central Baptist Church of Camp Springs, their parents, other family members,     friends, and neighbors are welcome to participate.
