A Dream to Transform a City…

We have already seen God be faithful to the dream that He gave a small group of people in 1988…a dream to see the city of Coral Springs and the surrounding communities transformed by God.  Now, we are seeing God continue to be faithful to that dream.

Can you imagine the worship, teaching, caring, sharing, and relationships being built; the sounds of music; children laughing, learning, singing and playing; hurts being healed; people meeting the Creator for the very first time?

Imagine the fun of being involved with fulfilling God’s purpose for our lives when we use this building as a tool to continue the dream in Northwest Broward.

  • 1,800,000 people live within a 20-mile radius of Church by the Glades

 
Recent studies have concluded that nearly 90% of all persons who accept Christ do so before 20 years of age.  There are over 90,000 adults over the age of 18 in Coral Springs alone!
 
The problem is that only 10-15% of American Churches are rated as “Highly Effective” in reaching their community for Christ.  Even worse, 85% of churches are rated as “in serious decline.” In contrast, CBG’s weekly Worship attendance is up 40% from the previous year.
 
We believe God has positioned Church by the Glades to not only meet the needs of our community, but to, more importantly, share the life-changing message of Jesus Christ with them.  However, Greater Things are yet to come...
