Community Presbyterian Church is a special place. There are many reasons for this. We are blessed with wonderful people of all ages. We are growing in faith, love, and as disciples. We are actively striving to make our community a better place, but these are not our greatest assets. A person, group, or movement becomes great only when it lifts its gaze from self to something greater.

At CPC, we exist to know, worship, and proclaim Jesus as Lord.

We exist as the body of Christ Jesus, called and empowered to live out his kingdom in this world. We live as disciples, life-long learners of the Lord and Author of life. Through our love for God and one another, through our faith and obedience, we have become a part of something great. It is this, more than anything else, which makes CPC special.

As you look through this website, you will find people and ministries striving to grow in faith, worship, and to live as citizens of God’s great kingdom. May what follows give you a taste of our life together at CPC, remind you of God’s faithfulness, and encourage you to be a part of something great.

AN OVERVIEW - In the Presbyterian Church we shy away from simple statements of faith, believing that the work and love of God is too rich and wonderful to describe in simple ways. For that reason we do not have one single creed or confession. Instead, our beliefs are expressed in part one of the church’s constitution called the Book of Confessions. This book contains an assortment of important creeds and statements from across the whole two-thousand years of the church’s history. Some of these (the Apostles’ Creed, the Nicene Creed) are shared by nearly all of Christendom. Others are more unique to the Reformed tradition and emerge from its birth during the Reformation. These include The Scots Confession (1560), The Heidelberg Catechism (1563) and The Second Helvetic Confession (1566). Others were written in times of extreme difficulty or change to address the need of the day, such as The Barmen Confession.

FAITH, MEMBERSHIP & DISCIPLESHIP - Just as Christ Jesus welcomes all, so we at Community Presbyterian Church welcome and invite all to participate in worship, study, fellowship, and prayer and to receive pastoral care. Whether seeker or devout, broken or healed, grieving or rejoicing, all are free to join us in our quest to seek, learn, and enjoy our God and to know the love and support of the church. While participation in any or all of these areas is open to all, without restriction, definition, or limitation, Active Membership is more carefully and precisely defined in the Presbyterian Church.
