Church-Centric Bible Translation

Church-Centric Bible Translation (CCBT) is a paradigm of Bible translation focussed on the establishing and strengthening of the church using a translation process that is led by leaders of the church and done by Christian 'believers' translating into their own language, as an integral part of their theological and spiritual formation.

CCBT provides the Church with unrestricted freedom to use the highest standard of biblical resources and technology to create, check and publish their translations. CCBT overcomes the licensing obstacle by open-licensing everything that the global church needs (e.g., content, tools, and training.) It overcomes the language obstacle by providing open-licensed resources in all the Gateway Languages so that the church in every language can use the resources through a major language they understand. All content found on the CCBT website is open-licensed (CC-BY-SA).

Five Bible stories have been translated into one of the 120 minority Chadian languages using the church-centric Bible translation model.

Church

The ultimate approval or agreement to something’s awesomeness. Most commonly used by dudes in their 40s who have removed “f*** yeah” from their vocabularies.

Did you see those amazing tacos? They were straight church bro.

real church

Any church that is homophobic, misogynist, and non-liturgical. Used almost exclusively to contrast conservative Christians from Progressive Christians.

"Your "priest" is a woman? That isn't a real church. "

"Stop being gay/trans and go to a real church, pronouns."

"I go to a real church. We follow The Bible™️."

Church Shooting

Wow, yeah, that holy war isn't going great, is it? Looks like the Christians have lost their edge. What's the score now?

Hym "You hear about the church shooting? I didn't get an official score but I'll google it eventually... Wasn't I just saying it's been a minute? There might have been a superbowl parade one too."

Church of the Rock

An interdenominational charismatic church headquartered in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It is famous for its annual Easter Passion Plays which re-enact the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. However, what makes this Church's plays famous in particular is that they are themed around famous movies and use characters from modern popular culture as stand-ins for the Biblical characters. It first gained attention in when YouTuber Jenny Nicholson posted a video where she reviews all of their Easter plays from 2008 to 2022.

I can't believe it but during the 2018 Church of the Rock Easter Passion Play, they literally crucified Iron Man while he was singing "tubthumping"! And they even mashed it up with "It's the end of the world as we know it"!
