Noun: The actual clock/timeframe under which Christians in groups operate and actually begin whatever it is they are gathering to do, whether it's church service, Bible study, community group, hangouts, social events, prayer groups, or coffee, you are operating on CST when everyone is just that "little bit" late. This can mean five to twenty minutes post supposed-actual-clock beginning time, depending on region, denomination, or other factors, including predominant gender or parental status of the group's members. Unless you have the countdown timer on your PowerPoint before church service begins. Then, you're just a stickler for procedure and accuracy.
"That community group is on Christian Standard Time. We got time to make a pit stop at Chick Fil A for a large lemonade. We won't miss anything."
"Hey guys, nice of you to join us, what, you think we are on Christian Standard Time over here? The meeting started ten minutes ago."
