TRAFFICKED: CBSM Against Teenage Trafficking


You’ve most likely seen the movie “Taken” before. If not, is a powerful movie of an American, teenage girl getting kidnapped in Paris by a sex and drug trafficking ring. It has come to our attention that there are numerous teenagers living in our area (Huntsville, AL) that have been trafficked to here. We have been informed that they have been moved here from American cities and foreign countries for the purposes of sex and drug trafficking. We want to do whatever we can to stop it, prevent it, and minister to those teens who have been involved in it. This Saturday at 11am, we are going to hear from Lynn Caffery who is running “The Studio” in Huntsville that reaches out to these teens. We are looking forward to hearing her story, vision, ministry, and heart. You are more than welcome to join us in our student building at 11am for this urgent ministry.

Here’s the letter we sent our CBSM parents concerning this opportunity:

2012 SMT’s: Student Ministry Teams of CBSM


Our SMT’s are teams that CBSM students join in order to do ministry on a weekly basis. We strongly believe in spiritual giftedness, serving, and ministering through the church and for the glory of Jesus! We believe that God has given every teenager gifts, talents, and abilities that they are naturally good at. Through salvation, God redeems those gifts, talents, and abilities to for the use of His kingdom (Eph 4:1-11). We believe that every teenager should be using their giftedness specifically through the church (Eph 4:12). Lastly, we believe that every gift, talent, and ability should be used fully for the glory of Jesus (Eph 4:13-16). We want our teens to be bored if they aren’t serving Jesus in some specific way that reflects their giftedness. Lastly, We want our teens to understand that our ministry will not be as excellent, fruitfull, smooth, or cool without them using their giftedness for Jesus through CBSM.

Every semester we go over “how to discern their spiritual giftedness” with our students, and we announce all the different teams that they would get to serve on. They pick their teams, make their commitment to serve, and get on board for the rest of the semester.

Here are the 2 documents of our SMT’s for both Middle and High School

CBSM DNOW Weekend 2011: November 11-13 (Starting Friday at 10pm)


Now starting Friday at 10pm due to the Bob Jones vs. Hoover game in town. DNOW stands for Disciple Now. CBSM sets aside this weekend every year for a more focused and intensive weekend on discipleship more than ever. Our discipleship is most specifically becoming more like and following Jesus. In order to achieve this, we’ll have 3 CBSM-style worship services, students staying together in homes as small groups, students doing service projects together, and a Q&A at the end of the weekend to make sure we drive the topic home. What’s the topic? COMMUNITY! We want our students to understand the biblical importance of gospel-communities in their lives. We’ll explain more what I mean over the weekend. But basically, we want enhance our small group ministry experience to the ultimate, maximum capacity! You will love our guest speaker and worship band coming in just for this weekend! Cost is $30 each.
