About CPC
Our history
Madison’s CPC is over 170 years old. Originally located a block off of the Capitol Square, CPC is now in its third facility overlooking Lake Mendota. CPC is committed to being centered in Christ, rooted in the Presbyterian and Reformed traditions, and worshipping as an ecumenical fellowship of people from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences.
Get to know us better
Our local and global efforts to make God’s love real include our founding relationship with Pres House, the investment in the education of children from Mendota Elementary and hosting international students with MIP to name a few.
At the center of our work is a commitment to ministries of compassion and justice.
We are fortunate to have an incredibly talented, caring and passionate staff. Learn more about each of our staff, deacons and elders and their roles within CPC.
Meet Our Staff and EldersOur vision
For worship
We believe that God’s people experience God’s presence in worship. Every week we offer diverse and participative worship experiences that connect to our daily lives and inspire through a wide range of artistic expressions.
For community
We intentionally welcome all people to our community and invite them to join with us on our faith journey. We enjoy being together and seek honest, caring relationships that comfort, encourage, and challenge.
For discipleship
We know Jesus Christ loves us as we are, and encourages us to grow spiritually and relationally. We believe lasting growth and change happen in our lives as we engage with others and God’s word.
For service and justice
We believe God’s love is to be shared to bring peace, comfort, and justice, so we work with local and global mission partners to learn and be actively engaged in efforts toward reconciliation and strengthening our community.
