As busy people pulled by the competing demands of contemporary life, we are called to make Jesus Christ the center of our lives. Pulled by the conflicting stresses of daily living, we seek to center our lives in the spirit of God and the ways of Jesus Christ. Through worship, study, prayer, community life, and pastoral care, we seek to deepen our relationship with Jesus. Centered in the love of God, we welcome a broad spectrum of perspectives and ministry interests, and we strengthen our bonds of faith and friendship. We support each other as we grapple with the everyday choices we must make to keep Christ at the center of our lives.

While most Presbyterian churches are rapidly aging, CCPC is an exception. We have been given a special gift in the sheer number of young people in our congregation. We have a special calling to nurture the faith of children and youth. We are called to include children and youth in every aspect of our church life for the benefit of everyone in the congregation. We envision opportunities for people of every age to participate in acts of service and mission, and to focus on opportunities to work across generations. We are called to reach out and invite the young families in our neighborhood who have no faith affiliation to come to CCPC. We envision equipping and supporting parents, grandparents, and mentors in raising spiritually healthy children and youth.

As people blessed with education, access to power, and financial resources, we are called to work for justice. We hear and respond to Jesus’ call to serve “the least of these” in our neighborhoods and in the wider world.
