Welcome to CPC Middle School!

Middle school is a time for big questions. Questions about identity, purpose, and belonging. We walk alongside students as they ask those questions, guiding and encouraging them as they discover who they are in Christ and where they fit in God’s story.

In a space welcoming to all, we combine fun and depth to help students feel known, build friendships, and grow in faith.

Middle School Group meets every week. Students can jump in at any time!

What to expect on Wednesday Nights

Fun & Games – We start with high-energy games and time to hang out with friends.

Worship & Teaching – Students spend time in worship and hear a short, relatable message guiding students to a deeper understanding of who Jesus is and what it means to follow Him.

Small Groups – Students meet in consistent groups with leaders to talk, ask questions, and build friendships.

A Safe Environment – Our team is made up of caring, background-checked leaders who are committed to creating a space where every student feels known and valued.
