Hearthstones (grades 6 - 8) and Firesides (grades 9 - 12) are the youth groups at CCPC. Under the guidance of Youth Ministries Associate Martin Brooks, the groups normally meet on Sunday evenings. After a dinner together, each group enjoys a time of fellowship. Special activities include a ski week-end and mission projects.
The names of our youth groups have a long history. Firesides started about 1926 when a small group began meeting informally. In 1930 CCPC's pastor, Dr. Joseph Hillman Hollister, Formally organized the group and held meetings in his home where there would always be a blazing first in a large living room. Today, youth group meetings are held in Room 260, known as the Firesides Room.
