Yes, The Holy Club. First, this is not a self designation by those participating in this ministry. Second, the name came from critics who hoped to discourage. In 1726, at Oxford in England, Charles Wesley founded a band of four young men interested in spiritual growth. He and his companions adopted certain rules for right living, and apportioned their time exactly to study and religious duties, allotting as little as possible to sleeping and eating, and as much as possible to devotion. The new movement was spiritual, humanitarian, but, first and strongest of all, scriptural. The first work of the Holy Club was the study of the Bible. The searching of the Scriptures was earnest, open-minded, devout, unceasing. Critics attempted to malign the group with titles such as The Holy Club, Bible Bigots and Bible Moths. The designation "The Holy Club" is the name history has placed on this group of young men who wanted nothing more than to match the label that had been placed upon them - Christians.

The Holy Club at CBC is a group of men who meet twice per month for the sole purpose of studying God's Word. This is our first work. We meet on Wednesday evenings, 8:15 - 9:30 p.m. Currently we are taking a sabbatical from theology and reading Church History in Plain Language by Bruce Shelley. The Holy Club is for men who have not arrived at holiness, but are striving toward it.

The schedule is located on the calendars .
