Through their ministry, over 2000 people have heard the Gospel, and over 100 people have believed in God and gotten baptized in Southern California. During this time they have taken mission trips to China to minister through preaching, visitation, discipleship, social concerns and training. The training is provided to church leaders, pastors and lay leaders. To be more effective in the ministry, Ben and Maggie are working hard to build a Chinese ministry team, by both planting churches in the United States and wide-range ministry in China.

Worship/Outreach Pastor

Pastor Rusty McKinley joined the staff of CBC in January 2001. Rusty’s role is primarily focused on leading and facilitating the worship music and tone of the Sunday morning worship including all the preparation that is involved. Rusty is committed to the CBC Core Values, which include “living lives of worship and praise”. A secondary but not lesser aspect of his job is orchestrating and/or participating in outreach opportunities; including but not limited to Pizza Tuesdays at Jill Kinmont Boothe School, Sober Grad Night for graduating High School Seniors, Fifth Quarter – activities for students following home football games, planned special events designed to reach the un-churched.

Rusty came to CBC with a long and extensive background of worship leading experience, formerly done on a volunteer basis. His outreach experience was enhanced by a period of time spent serving with YWAM (Youth With A Mission). Rusty has always had a passion to reach the lost in any way possible: looking at creative ways to minister to the community, building relationships in the community, becoming involved with people in places where church people are not usually found, organizing concert events, etc. He has participated in every type of outreach event that has come his way or that he could orchestrate; from street evangelism to concerts and whatever fell in-between.

Rusty has a special place in his heart for un-churched young people, but would choose that all age groups come to know and follow the Lord Jesus Christ.
