In Acts 9:23-31, we see how the early church was faced with immense pressure, and yet, it led to the growth and strengthening of the church. First, the pressure they experienced produced surprising peace and the building up of people, as the early believers found unity and encouragement even in difficult times. Second, pressure fosters a deeper walk in the fear of the Lord, driving us to greater reverence and commitment to God’s will. Third, pressure highlights our profound need for the Holy Spirit, as we rely on His guidance and power to navigate challenges. So, what do you do under pressure? What comes out when life squeezes you? Let’s pray that we can be led to encourage others, fear the Lord, and depend on the Holy Spirit.
Please pray for Pastor Steve and the team as they prepare the service. We are looking forward to what God is going to do this Sunday!

We are absolutely ecstatic to introduce Brian Miller, our newest team member. He grew up as a missionary kid here in Campbell River. His parents Jim and Kristy Miller were missionaries with the Nuu Chah Nulth people of the west coast. CRBC supported his family and he attended this church since he was very young. He holds a BA in Youth Ministry, with a double major in OT Theology and Youth ministry
A few words from Brian: "It is my desire to empower parents and come alongside families to have good conversations with their kids, raising up the next generation of the church. To help them grow to be compassionate, kind, discerning and faithful to the message of the gospel. To develop a faith that is not dependent on a fragile shell of habit and parroted back answers, but a deep abiding love and knowledge of who God is. This is my heart, my passion for youth ministry.

Brian starts full time on July 1st. Please be praying!

We continue to marvel at all that God is doing in and through our church. This year we have seen a lot of hard work from all of our small hands that the Holy Spirit continues to multiply. We are looking forward to celebrating what God has been doing at CRBC in our upcoming Annual General Meeting. We'll see you at the church June 9th at 6pm. All members please attend, and anyone else is welcome! There will also be a zoom option available for those who can't attend in person. 

Coming in September, we will be launching Christianity Explored. It is a group for people to learn more about Christianity, asking deep questions that illuminate Jesus, who He was, why He came, and why it matters today. 

If you are interested in participating in this group, we need volunteers! Please email Josh for more details.

Island Adventure Camp: Family Edition is all about growing kids' faith and strengthening their community. We are doing things a bit differently this year.  Instead of a week long camp we are adding extra elements to our time during our Sunday Morning Rooted Kids program! There will be skits, songs and bible stories.  After the church service, lunch will be provided.  Crafts and games will be set up for parents to do with their kids as a way to connect about what the kids learned in Rooted Kids that day.
