Our church holds fast to the Word of God and has been focusing on achieving the threefold objective:

a) The exaltation of Christ

b) The edification of the believers

c) The evangelization of the world

We envision the Chinese Bible Church of Maryland to be a full service 21st century church that excels in producing generations of disciples and Christian workers from a diversity of cultural and language profiles through the threefold objective of exaltation of Jesus Christ, edification of believers, and evangelization of the world.

Specifically, we envision our church to be a church where:

1. Worship is a profound and life-transforming encounter with the living God in an awe-inspiring and joy-filled setting.

2. Members, from different languages, Chinese dialects, generations, and cultural backgrounds, come to worship God and have fellowship in our church family - loving, learning, growing, laughing, serving, and living in harmony together.

3. The hurting, the depressed, the frustrated, the confused, the sick, the needy, the tired, the young, and the aged can find love, acceptance, help, hope, forgiveness, guidance, rest, renewal, and encouragement.

4. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is preached to tens of thousands of Chinese and other residents in Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia area.

5. Every member reads, loves, and obeys the Word of God, and all the leaders and co-workers love the Lord devotedly, serve Him faithfully, and care for others unselfishly.

6. Every member is discipled into spiritual maturity and becomes disciple-makers of Jesus Christ through Bible studies, prayer groups, cell groups, fellowship, seminars, and retreats.

7. Every member is equipped for a significant ministry by helping them discover the gifts and talents God gave them and is empowered for a personal life mission in the world.

8. Full-time missionaries and Christian workers are continually sent out all around the world.

9. Hundreds of members are sent out on short-term mission projects all around the world.

10.Sister churches are planted and mission churches are adopted continually.

Our long-term goals include:

1. Achieving full membership involvement in corporate and personal worship, and prayer, caring, and service as necessary prerequisites to acceptable total worship.

2. Achieving Bible literacy among all church members and promote a lifestyle that is under the authority of Scripture.

3. Achieving full membership involvement in family and various relational ministries.

4. Facilitating separate language, age, and cultural congregations within one church.

5. Mobilizing all CBCM and sister church members to reach out to the Chinese population and other residents in Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia areas through all available means of evangelism.

6. Ministering to the particular needs of the leaders and co-workers and their families to enhance their continued devotion and faithfulness to the Lord.

7. Ministering to the needs of retiring CBCM full-time Christian workers.

8. Ministering to CBCM members in the areas of emotional, social, and physical needs through various counseling, support, and caring ministries; and provide relief, when deemed appropriate and resources are available, to special needs as they arise locally and in different parts of the world.

9. Equipping and sending out one full-time Christian worker every year.

10. Equipping and sending out at least 50 adult members on short-term mission projects every year.

11. Planting and adopting additional local or out-of-the-area churches.

12. Acquiring a site of adequate size in Maryland for facility expansion to meet the membership and ministry growth.
