CBMC is a thriving, seeker-sensitive church of three congregations (Cantonese, Mandarin and English) with a weekly attendance averaging 600, located in Alhambra, CA. Our vision of “Reaching 10,000 for Christ” has been, and will continue to be, the guiding principle for all ministries in the church. Our mission is to carry out the Great Commission of Jesus Christ by reaching out to people in the Los Angeles area primarily through small group ministry.
