HISTORY OF CBM
CBM Ministries began in the southern USA in 1935, but it had it's local beginnings in 1970 when Reba Miller established Released Time classes in Greene County, PA schools. Released Time is now offered in each elementary and secondary school in that county. In the 1990's CBM expanded to nearby Fayette county and in 2005 opened RT in Butler county. In 2005 CBM was ministering to over 850 students in 26 schools.
Camp was first offered in 1971 and has been held each summer since for elementary and teen students. We have rented camps each year, but we are currently seeking to build a camp of our own to be used for year round ministry to all age groups.

4. Salvation by Grace alone; through faith alone, in Christ alone.
5. The bodily resurrection, ascension and imminent return of Christ.
