At CPC, we believe that in every moment, God is at work. We embrace every day as an invitation to open ourselves to the possibilities of what Jesus can do in our lives—and we want to be open together.
The Gospel is the Good News of Jesus’ sacrificial love for all people. It is a living power, not dependent on anything we do or don’t do—because the power of the Gospel is based on what Jesus has already done for us. As a community, we come together as people who want to know Jesus and be transformed by Him. Inside our church and out in the world, we believe there is no limit to what Jesus’ love can do.
Tangible Care and Hospitality
We show the heart of Jesus by caring for others.
A Focus on All Generations
We believe faith is a lifelong journey, so we teach, serve, and pour into all ages.
A Spirit of Possibility
We harness the creativity God blesses us with and believe we can do great things through Him.
Awareness of The World
We look beyond ourselves to be change agents for our local and global community.
A Welcoming On-Ramp
We meet people where they’re at in their walk with Jesus, providing avenues to encounter Him.
A Willingness to Live in The Tension
We dig into tough issues, acknowledging our differences while bringing grace to dialogue.
The Gospel moves through God’s Word. Reflecting on what God says and what it means for our lives helps open us to growth in our personal relationship with God. Through reflection, we can become more aware of why and how God is moving.

The Gospel moves among God’s people. Connecting with others in intentional, regular spiritual conversations helps expand and deepen our understanding of the role of Jesus in our lives. Through practices of relationship, we can learn and grow alongside each other in ways we cannot on our own.

The Gospel moves through invitation. Just as God extends the invitation of the Gospel to each of us, he calls us to invite others to experience the Good News of Jesus’s love. Through practices of invitation, we can grow in trust that God transforms lives beyond what we could ask or imagine.
Hear from Carrie on opportunities for invitation
The Gospel moves in every corner of life. What happens in church isn’t supposed to stay there. We want to see every place we go as somewhere God already is—and be open to how we can join Him. Through practices of integration, we can anticipate God’s presence and power wherever we live, work, and play.

The Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from there he shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit; the holy catholic (universal) church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting.
The Necessity and Means of Salvation
We recognize that humanity is created in the image of God, but because of our sin, we are lost, in need of forgiveness, and subject to death. To rescue us from sin and reveal the fullness of His love to us, God sent His Son, Jesus; through His atoning death on the cross and physical resurrection, we are forgiven, reconciled with God, and receive eternal life. As those reconciled with God, the church is called to live under the lordship of Jesus, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and sent into the world to embody the love of God in word and deed.
The Uniqueness of Christ
We believe God has spoken to people of the world, so that human beings know of God’s existence and His goodness (Hebrews 1:1-3, Romans 1:19-21). We affirm that salvation comes by God’s grace to sin-filled people, through faith in Jesus Christ alone (Acts 4:12, John 14:6).
The Authority of Scripture
In confusing times, it is imperative to define how we make difficult decisions. We affirm that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament are inspired by God and authoritative to direct the behavior of God’s people in matters of faith and practice (2 Timothy 3:16, Psalm 119:2-4). We also affirm the primacy of the Scriptures over all other creeds, which exist to reflect the teaching and affirmations of the Scriptures in certain times and situations. In everything, we take a posture of humility and rely on God’s Spirit to guide us. Our commitment to the authority of God’s Word and the uniqueness of Jesus compels us not to pass judgment, but to preach and live the Gospel in loving relationships, with urgency and respect for all. Like the Reformers we proclaim: in essentials, unity; in non-essentials, diversity; in all things, charity.
What began as a small group of dedicated, missional Jesus-followers has grown into a robust, vibrant, intergenerational faith community serving a diversity of backgrounds.
