“Stand by Me” is our 2027 Stewardship Campaign inspired by Ben E. King’s 1961 song and Charles Albert Tindley’s 1905 hymn. God stands by us in times of joy and sorrow, in uncertainty and celebration. We stand by each other in our church community. We find strength, friendship, purpose, and hope. In turn, we are called to stand by others in need. None of us stands alone. - and together we can accomplish far more than any of us could accomplish alone. Now is the time to make your pledge for the 2027 church year. Stand by our church with your time, talents, prayers, and financial support.

Make Your Pledge
2026 CCPC Budget
In 2026, our church’s budget is $1.74M, of which 75 percent comes from stewardship pledges, investments, and other congregational giving. With inflation, many expenses will be higher in 2027.
Here’s how the pledge money raised in 2026 is being spent:
To make our goal of raising $1.3M in pledges for 2027, we need every household to prayerfully consider pledging $100 or more per week.
The weekly cost to run our church is roughly $30,000.
We need you to “stand by us” with a strong pledge that reflects your commitment to our community and our many ministries.
