Kids Programs

At CPC we are committed to working with parents to help your children discover a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.  We seek to provide a loving, nurturing Christian environment for your child.  We want to share with your child the gifts of God's truth and love and to pass on the joy we ourselves have found in following Jesus Christ.  Our goal is to help children establish a close relationship with God and a solid foundation in Jesus Christ that remains with them throughout their lives.  We seek to do this through:

  • teaching them God's word in a way that is exciting;
  • engaging and including them in the worship service and fellowship activities of the church;
  • providing an atmosphere where they are free to express their questions, doubts, problems and fears;
  • and to have fun and make lifelong friends!

We offer Classes at two different times on Sunday as well as during the week. We look forward to having your children join in all of our programs.
