Our People
One of the pictures God uses to describe the church is that of a body - it's made up of lots of different parts which work together for the good of the whole.
With the Lord Jesus as the 'head' of our church, these are some of the people that make up the rest of 'the body' here at CBC. Click on the pictures below to find out more.
