COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS

 The Community Care ministry is focused not only on loving on our CEBC church members but also those in our community.

Galatians 6:2 "Bear each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ."

Hebrews 13:16 "And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased."

We strongly encourage and embrace partnerships with Christian organizations in and around San Diego to strengthen and stretch our limited resources to reach those most in need.
