Conservative Grace Brethren Churches International
Welcome
The Conservative Grace Brethren Churches, International is a fellowship of autonomous churches who cooperate together to fulfill the Great Commission of our Lord, Jesus Christ, as recorded in Matthew 28:19-20 of the Bible. These churches base their cooperation on commonly held biblical beliefs as stated in the CGBCI statement of faith. Our desire is to practice these beliefs in harmony with the historic Grace Brethren position forged from the Anabaptist tradition.
The history of the Brethren movement began in 1708 with Alexander Mack in Schwarzenau, Germany. He and other like-minded believers desired to please God through obedience to God's word wholly, even at the cost of personal suffering. Our desire is the same. Because of this, our preaching is expository and our worship is not given to theological fads.
Our motto is the Bible, the whole Bible and nothing but the Bible.
May God be praised forever and ever!

Dear Brethren: Here we are, four months into the year, just two months away from CGBCI Conference. As time passes, each day we are met with new challenges. As we draw nearer to the conclusion of "God's Plan for the Ages", Satan is escalating his attacks on Christians. "Churches" are straying from the Truth, we are told, "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables" (2 Ti 4:3-4). What has been touted as the largest, fastest growing church in America is being led by a young man who is a great "motivational" speaker; the Truth of the Word of God is implied but not applied. People are flocking to book stores to buy the young "Preacher's" books, his "Sermon's" and writings make people feel good about themselves and he does not approach the fact of "man's sin and guilt" biblically. We must continue to be steadfast, even as the Apostle Paul exhorted the Corinthians "Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord" (1 Co 15:58). We must continue to overcome because we have the Truth, it is not the hope which the world has to offer, but it is, ". . . the hope that is in . . ." us, it is that hope which has brought change in the lives of people down through the ages, and continues to do so now, and will until the end. Yours in His Truth, Pastor Chip Jones
