About CPC

Reaching People and Following Jesus

Crowd of people gathered outdoors on a sunny day, some sitting at tables, others standing, with trees and a building in the background.

FOR the One.

FOR the Valley.

FOR the World.

Our vision at CPC is to be a church that is FOR people because God is for people. We are FOR the One, helping people know and follow Jesus personally. We are FOR the Valley, loving and serving the community God has placed us in. And we are FOR the World, joining God’s work beyond our walls to bring hope and make a lasting impact.

    The deacons represent the hands and feet of Christ, servant leaders who care for our church and our local community.

Our Denomination

CPC is affiliated with the EPC, a denomination of over 600 churches around the United States. We are a part of the Presbytery of the Pacific Southwest, as one of 32 churches from California and Nevada. The focus of this presbytery is: Ministerial Support (supporting new churches coming to the EPC in the Western Region), Church Planting, and World Outreach.

The EPC is a denomination formed in 1981 and had its beginning in the Reformation under John Calvin (1509-1564). The Constitution of the EPC consists of the Book of Order (comprised of The Book of Government, The Book of Discipline and The Book of Worship), the Westminster Confession of Faith (including the Larger and Shorter Catechisms), and the document Essentials of our Faith. All these documents are subordinate to Scripture, which is "the supreme and final authority" on all matters on which it speaks.
