Our Beliefs
We believe the Bible is the inerrant Word of God, written by God through men. We believe that Jesus Christ is the very Son of God and that it is only through faith in His death, burial and resurrection that a person is saved, that is, forgiven of their sin and receives the free gift of eternal life.
— MEET OUR PASTORS —

Dave Laborde has been the pastor of Community Bible Church since 1985. He is a graduate of the University of Tennessee and Grace Theological Seminary. His passion is to serve the Lord and others through pastoral ministry and expository teaching and preaching of the Bible.
Beth is also very much involved with the ministry of CBC. She leads the Kid’s Klubhouse ministry (for children in kindergarten to 6th grade) and serves as one of the church’s pianists. The Labordes have three children, Benjamin, Anne and James.

Daniel has been serving as the associate pastor at Community Bible Church since 2022. He graduated from Oakland City University where he met his wife Kiersten, a fellow biology major. After completing their respective degrees, they moved to Dallas for Daniel to attain theological training to aid his desire to serve in the local church. They moved back to the Midwest in 2022 with their son William and a heart to see the Lord work in the local church. Daniel loves to teach the Bible, have deep conversations, watch movies, and play games.
Kiersten works at Starbucks providing local Parisians with their morning energy, serves in the church teaching in the Children’s church, and helps with teen group. She also loves games, the outdoors, and spending time with her family. William loves life!

— History —
In February of 1990, the church began the process of moving from the downtown area to a newly purchased property on the east side of town. The first services in the newly-built facility were held on Easter Sunday, March 31, 1991 with 112 in attendance. A second building phase began in the fall of 1992, with the first services held in our new auditorium on February 28, 1993. Over the next several years, we were able to expand the ministry in several areas, including the addition of a children’s program called “Kid’s Klubhouse,” a teen group, and the music program. We have also been able to expand the missions program. In 2005, we purchased an adjacent property and were able to once again expand our facilities by adding a 40’ x 50’ youth room. The Lord has continued to bless each area of ministry. Our Sunday worship service attendance average is up to around 135. Our children and youth ministries are quite active. We have a Ladies Bible Fellowship ministry. Our missions program is full and we have a weekly Bible institute. We look forward with great anticipation to see what the Lord has in store for us as we continue to serve him in the Paris community.
