HAPPENING THIS SUNDAY
Sunday Seminar. Reasons For Faith: Pastor Emeritus Rob Bromhead returns with a powerful seminar about the reasons we have to trust in the God of the Bible!

CPC 101 New Members Class will be held this Sunday, April 30th at 11:45am after second service in Room 201. Want to go deeper in community and take the next steps in life at CPC?
