Kids’ Ministry
Although they may not be able to fully express it, children have souls that are yearning for God, and it is our goal to help them find and follow after God as they grow. And we have much to learn from our kids, as Jesus quite clearly reminded us.
It is our desire that every child experience God-centered programs and activities at our church that will nurture them in developing their faith.

Youth Ministry
At CPC, we create contexts for teenagers to pursue deeper, more intimate relationships with God. We do this by inviting teenagers to gather in safe and encouraging environments in which they can grow their faith alongside their peers and caring adults and go forth to serve in the name of Christ. From local community service opportunities to mission trips, our students are provided with opportunities to stretch and sharpen their faith and grow into who God has created them to be.
What does a Sunday morning look like during the school year?
We offer worship services at 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. with something for everyone during and in-between services. Our goal is to help you and your family find what you need each Sunday. Whether you choose to worship together, explore one of our programs or do both, children and youth are always welcome in all of our spaces at Christ Presbyterian Church. You decide what works best for your family each Sunday. We are glad you are here!
When you arrive, please visit the check-in station at the main entrance on Gorham Street where someone will greet you and help you learn the options for the day.
