TABLE OF CONTENTS

CHURCH HISTORY Christ Community Baptist Church began in 1986 in Puyallup, WA. Based on a demographic study by our North American Baptist, Pacific Northwest Association determined that the area of South Hill in Puyallup was ripe for a new church to be planted. Families from Tacoma Calvary Baptist met for prayer, Bible studies and going door-to-door in this demographic study. In December of that same, year Pastor Gordon Bauslaugh was called to be the planter/pastor of this project. Over the next 30 years, CCBC was amazed and encouraged to see how God blessed this ministry whenever we reached out to those in our com-munity.

SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THOSE THIRTY YEARS INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:

*1987— First public worship services were held *1988— Purchased nearly five acres of land on 176th Street *1992— Building Fund Goal, “Team Your Mite with His Might”, raising $90,000 *1992— Ground breaking for a 13,000 sq. foot church facility (included 2 modular buildings) *1995— First Sunday in new church building, July 30 *2000— Planted a new church called “The Gathering:” with 20% of our congregation *2004— Began three year “Experience Faith Project” campaign raising $428,300 *2007— P.J. Tangedahl is added to the ministry staff as Pastor of Worship *2008— Final payment on mortgage of church building *2014— Permission for the use of our new facility parking lot granted by the county *2015— Survey taken within the congregation confirming our need for the facility expansion. Moving forward with possible future building project to meet our space needs. *2015— Maxed our building. Needed to expand our facilities to continue “Building Upon Our Vision”

*2016— John Golling transitions to Youth and Trustee Pastor

Started by Church Planters, Gordon and Sandy Bauslaugh, CCBC has grown and been blessed by God to continue to this day.

In just over 29 years of CCBC, we have interviewed 886 individuals for church membership. One third of these

were also baptized at CCBC. Yearly we remove individuals who have either moved away or chosen to not to continue to worship at CCBC, and so we keep an accurate membership.

Relationships between congregants and their neighbors and non-Christ followers

Most relationships with neighbors and non-Christ followers are positive. We want to represent Christ outside of the church building and be a light to

those who need it. We look for opportunities to invite our neighbors and non-Christ followers to church activities and to communicate the love of Christ by serving them when needed, neighborhood BBQ’s or even just a listening ear.

Relationship of church with local community leadership/government

A couple of Christ Community Baptist Church members are also members of the Frederickson/

Clover Creek Community Council which keeps abreast of what is happening in the community.

Participation of community in congregational mission

The following groups use the church facility consistently: Frederickson/Clover Creek Community Council, Home School Orchestra,

Women’s Prayer Group, Youth Group, 4-H, Pacesetters, Homeschool Co-op, Toastmasters, Olive Crest, Overeaters Anonymous, Common Thread Sewing Group, Men’s Bible Studies, Women’s Bible Study, AWANA and MOPS.

Related to our CCBC mission statement: Cast big picture vision, direction and give

supervision of the total local church ministry to the extent that the church will fulfill its

overall mission of service, worship, outreach, relationship building and discipleship

(S.W.O.R.D.)

Qualifications:

Lead Pastor must be a church member in excellent standing, having demonstrated

application of the Scriptures and personifying the standards found in First Timothy 3:1-7,

Titus 1:6-9 and First Peter 5:2-4.

1. Timothy 3:1-7, “1 Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a

noble task. 2 Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate,

self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, 3 not given to drunkenness, not violent but

gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. 4 He must manage his own family well and see

that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full respect. 5 (If anyone

does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God’s church?) 6 He

must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as

the devil. 7 He must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into

disgrace and into the devil’s trap.”

2. Titus 1:6-9, “6 An elder must be blameless, faithful to his wife, a man whose children believe

and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient. 7 Since an overseer manages

God’s household, he must be blameless—not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to

drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain. 8 Rather, he must be hospitable, one who

loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined. 9 He must hold firmly

to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound

doctrine and refute those who oppose it.”

3. 1 Peter 5:2-4, “2 Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, watching over

them—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not

pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve; 3 not lording it over those entrusted to you, but

being examples to the flock. 4 And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the

crown of glory that will never fade away.”

He must be in agreement with the NAB Code of Ethics. A believer in and teacher of the

faith as embodied in the Scriptures and in agreement with the church’s Statement of Faith.

The Lead Pastor will be an ordained minister (or willing to become ordained)
