For over 50 years CPC has strived to make and mature more followers of Christ.

Their mission then and our mission now is to make and mature followers of Jesus Christ. Whether you don’t have a faith background, are new to the faith, or you have been a long-time follower of Jesus, we hope you will find your time with us engaging, edifying and encouraging.
