At CBC, we champion every person to be the good news of Jesus in every place. Because we believe in building a kingdom family, celebrating life change, practicing radical generosity, and delivering real hope. We reach, teach, help, and go in Jesus’ name.
While we are one of the largest churches in San Antonio, we're committed to helping you find community right where you're at. We are CBC, and CBC are we!

Our special needs Axcess ministry is built on the belief that Jesus desires a personal relationship with all his children, regardless of their abilities. We have created a program to appropriately accommodate and differentiate student learning.
We have two models in Axcess:
- Inclusion for all ministries
- Sensory safe classrooms
Inclusion for all ministries is where members are given a buddy to partner with alongside their peers in various environments around campus.
Sensory-safe classrooms are self-contained and allow for specialized and specific care for those with moderate to severe needs.
Registration is required. For any assistance or further information on our ministry, please feel free to email inquires to [email protected] or call (210) 496-5096, ext 1102.
Free.
CBC wants all of our members and guests to have access to the many large events and small groups offered throughout the week. Axcess works with ministries so that children, youth and adults with special needs can participate at CBC, both through inclusion and specially designed activities.
Axcess
Our special needs ministry is built on the belief that Jesus desires a personal relationship with all his children, regardless of their abilities. We have created a program to appropriately accommodate and differentiate student learning. Inclusion allows us to collaborate with other ministries to plan for small groups, large groups, and individual needs. We desire to partner with parents and staff to develop a plan for each participant in the church setting.
Models in Axcess
We have two models in Axcess.
The first is inclusion for all ministries where members are given a buddy to partner with alongside their peers in various environments around campus.
The second option is our sensory safe classrooms. These rooms are self-contained and allow for specialized and specific care for those with moderate to severe needs.
Transition Bible Study
Axcess also holds a transition bible study (ages 14+) on Sunday mornings at 10AM. This serves our older members who want to develop a better understanding and personal relationship with the body of Christ.
Free.
This group is for individuals who are considering to foster or adopt, either locally or internationally, and for families who have been through the adoption process. Our goal is to provide information about adoption funding through the ABBA Fund and The Chosen Marathon, to connect you with others who have used these resources successfully, and encourage you in your personal process of adoption.
Please know that you don’t have to do your recovery journey alone. CR is a Christ-centered, 12-step recovery program for anyone struggling with a hurt, habit, or hang-up. Whether you want to work on issues related to trust, anger, pornography, food, codependency, abuse, or have a loved one struggling with addiction, CR is for you.
CR is a safe place to find community and freedom from issues that are controlling us. We offer topic and gender-specific small groups to help you on your journey to freedom.
Open to anyone over 18 years of age. Childcare available through registration.
