Job Overview

CBC Richmond Hill officially launched as a church plant of CBC Savannah on August 7, 2022, at the City Center in Richmond Hill at J.F. Gregory Park. By October of 2022, the congregation and cbcKids continued to outgrow our space and we moved to two services on October 2nd, 2022. By January of 2023, we fully opened up our sanctuary space and worked with the City of Richmond Hill to incorporate the Wetlands building into our lease. The growth has been consistent, but more importantly, the life change has been tangible. By God's grace and the generosity of our church, we were completely financially independent from CBC Savannah and a full-fledged local, autonomous church by January of 2023.

God has done so much here at CBC Richmond Hill since August of 2022. People have put their faith in Christ. Marriages have been strengthened. Believers have been built up and equipped to live the Christian Life. Our prayer is that this is just the beginning and that God will continue to use CBC Richmond Hill to glorify Himself and advance His gospel!
