Staff Retreat: 2010

I’m really excited to share that the Staff of CCJ will be taking a much needed retreat. After a busy summer with mission teams and a busy winter ahead, we are all looking forward to some time off.

The Importance of Humility

Humility! What comes to mind when you read that word? This word has been coming up a lot in my life lately. Initially, it doesn’t seem like a good word. It’s one of those character traits that we all know that we need, but that we don’t want to do what is necessary to attain it. Mainly, humbling ourselves consistently. We know the fruit of humility is positive in our lives but it’s the process of being made humble that scares most of us. My question is…...

BWO Mission Team 2010: Follow Up

BWO Mission Team 2010: Follow Up

To see photos from the BWO mission trip click here. This year’s mission team from BWO was amazing. Every year has gone very well but this team seemed… different. For one, they were the smallest team that BWO has ever brought down. In years past they have brought as many as 180 people, but this year was only 30 people. Another way that they were different was that they were more focused on a few areas of ministry rather than a wide spectrum of ministry like in the past. They were...

Sermon Podcast is now in iTunes.

Just wanted to let you know that our sermons are now available in the iTunes music store. We have been recording our sermons for quite some time but we have never made them available to the public.

This way, those of you who feel connected to our church but are not living in CR can also listen to them. These recordings are bilingual (English & Spanish). I hope you enjoy them. If you...

The Upper Room Gathering

We have a new ministry starting up at CCJ and I’m really excited to tell you about it. We are calling it “The Upper Room Gathering”.

What is “The Upper Room Gathering” you ask? It is a ministry for believers to gather together and pray, worship, and wait upon the Lord. The purpose of...

Streamlining our news sources.

I wanted to take a moment to let you know what has been happening with our web page and blog. As most of you have noticed, we don’t update either of them very regularly. This mainly due to 1. How I designed the original web site and 2. How busy we are daily. The web page that we currently have was designed using a Mac program. While it looks great, it requires a lot of time and work for me to add simple updates to it. Since we are very busy, I often tend to put these task on the back...
