Welcome to Christian Bible Church
Christian Bible Church provides all you'd look for from a church:
A daily "Thought for the day"
Available on your PC or via a podcast, and also with a written transcript for those who may not be able to, or wish to, listen to the audio version. A new message is available each morning so start the day with some encouraging words from the Bible.
A weekly audio message
This message, available through your PC or via a podcast, and also with a written transcript for those who may not be able to, or wish to, listen to the audio version, is the equivalent of the weekly sermon that would be heard in church. As such, it will last around 15 to 20 minutes and a new message will be available each Sunday. The messages are presented using down to earth language and give encouragement and practical advice, based fully on the Bible, and applicable to everyday life.
It is available to you at your convenience.
Hear or read it as many times as you want.
Be able to remind yourself of the bits you can't remember!
Be able to discuss to it through the interactive forum.
Have any questions answered through the e-mail facility.
A weekly Bible study
This weekly Bible study allows you to study the Bible at a time and place that's convenient to you. You can study by yourself or print off the study, meet with friends and study together. The study is designed to last between 30 and 45 minutes - but can obviously last longer, or even be shorter, depending on the amount of time you have available. It is all presented in everyday language and is easy to follow - even if you have no experience of reading and studying the Bible. Discuss the matters raised through the interactive forum, or e-mail any questions the study raises for you to get a personal reply. A new study will be available each Thursday.
A weekly OpFOL update
Operation Fullness of Life (OpFOL) is the practical outreach arm of CBC, it is the means by which we implement the teachings of the Bible - with particular reference to helping the poor. OpFOL is currently running a pilot project in Uganda, designed to create a suitable model of support that can be used anywhere in the Developing World. Starting in October 2009 there will be weekly updates on how the work is progressing. These updates will be available each Tuesday. The full details of OpFOL's work can be found at www.OpFOL.co.uk
An interactive discussion forum
This is your on-line church! The discussion forum allows you to interact with other members. Discuss and debate the points raised in any of the sections. Start your own discussions on topics that are dear to you. Upload a profile of yourself to create a more personal feel to this section. Opt-in for e-mail notification of replies you have received to your postings. Have your say from the convenience of your own home and at a time that suits you.
A prayer support section
Do you have something or someone for whom you would like prayer? Do you want to support others in their prayer needs and requests? Do you want to give glory to God for answered prayers? This is the place to do it. Post your prayer requests - with as much or as little information as you wish - directly onto the website and know that the staff and the members will be praying for you. Update your prayer needs as time passes and let us all know when the Lord has answered our prayers on your behalf.
E-mail advice and support
All members will be able to submit requests for advice and support for a private discussion with Niall. All advice and support offered will be based on the Bible's teachings, be very practical and be rooted in many years of pastorally supporting others from all walks of life. As a lot of problems, issues and queries are common to many people an edited version, with anything that may lead to identification removed, will be made available to all members. In this way, one e-mail may lead to many other people receiving advice and support.
These services are available to you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year. This is a church with ever-open doors, that meets in your home, that catches up with you and encourages you on the way to work, that is there when it's convenient for you and yet allows for full interactivity and creates a sense of belonging to a community.
