Missions
Our desire at CBC is to be deeply involved in and obedient to God's call to share the Good News of Jesus Christ and make disciples of all nations.
Rather than spread our support among many missionaries, we want to focus our resources upon a few so that we can:
- Invest in them spiritually, relationally, and financially
- Know their people by name and by burden
- Send helpers from our membership so that they may know us
In 2009, we started supporting one long-term missionary family – the Dennys in the Czech Republic. We are now supporting seven long-term missionary families. You will hear about them often at our church, and we will continually explore new opportunities to serve with them!
Missions Ministry
The CBC Missions Ministry exists to organize efforts to increase awareness and engagement in God's mission, both local and abroad.
VISION
That we would be faithful to the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) by the preaching of the gospel, through the salvation and discipleship of saints, to the glory of God.
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Missionary Awareness – make our missionary information visible and easily accessible to church members
- Missionary Spotlights – invite missionaries to speak and share at our church
- Annual Missions Conference – host a one-day conference to deepen our understanding and grow our commitment to the Great Commission
- Missionary Furlough Support – provide support and encouragement to our missionaries when they return on furlough
- Short-Term Missions – plan short-term missions trips to the Czech Republic, South Africa, Alaska and Southeast Asia, as the Lord allows
Contact Hyon Seo (hyonseomd@gmail.com) with any questions regarding the missions ministry or our missionaries.
Missionaries
The Lees
Southeast Asia
The Lee family are natives of a country in Southeast Asia, but God allowed them to study/train at the Master’s seminary and then serve at CBC from 2004 to 2007, before returning home in 2007. We are currently supporting them in partnership with Grace Ministries International, and their goal is to plant biblical churches for God's glory in their homeland.
Surrounded by a pluralistic and relativistic environment, the Lees' plea rings true: "There is an urgent need for evangelism and equipping those who are saved to understand the Bible accurately so that they will be able to teach others too. Thank you for partnering with us in the proclamation of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ."

Marcus & Amie Denny
Czech Republic
The Dennys went to the Czech Republic in 2009 after many years of serving at CBC. While Marcus attended Master's Seminary, the Dennys led in the college, singles, and care group ministries. CBC supports the Dennys in partnership with Faith Bible Church, Christ Our Hope, and a few other churches to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Marcus, Amie, and their three daughters currently minister at Kladno Bible Church. Their desire is for the Czech people to know the God of the Scriptures.
We send short-term teams to volunteer at the summer English Camp, and we also help other missionaries who are working with them to support the ministry at Kladno Bible Church.

Akani & Lerato Hlungwane
South Africa
The Hlungwanes have a burden to see gospel-centered churches established in the villages of South Africa. While working as an engineer, Akani and his wife, Lerato, served alongside the members of Living Hope Church (planted by our pastor, Joshua Mack) in Pretoria for over 10 years. With the growing burden for those in the villages, the family of five moved back to Akani's hometown (Ka-Bungeni) in December 2024. Their deep desire is to plant a biblical church and minister within the surrounding villages.

Evan & Caroline Nagayama
Japan
Evan and Caroline came to know the Lord during college and have been devoted members of Cornerstone since 2009. Evan currently serves as an elder, and together with Caroline, they actively serve in the young adult ministry. With a long-standing desire for missions, they are grateful the Lord has opened the door for them and their three sons to join the ministry at Megumi Bible Church in Tokyo, Japan (Fall 2025). Following a period of intensive language study, Evan and Caroline look forward to ministering to the church through evangelism, discipleship, teaching, and biblical counseling.
