"For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." Mark 10:45
At CPC, we want to be a church that is present in our community, showing the love of Jesus, and giving of our time and resources. Our tri-valley and beyond is growing with need and we believe God has called us to help our community beyond the walls of our church building.
