Our Beliefs

Devoted to Sharing the Good News

In our vision, “everyone” isn’t limited to those already part of CPC. We are people who see ourselves as the hope of our community because Jesus is the hope of the incredible God to know His love and power for themselves.

Devoted to Living in Christ-Likeness with others

We recognize that we are not alone on our journey toward maturity in Christ, but God has brought us together as a family. We are being transformed by God’s Spirit to become more like Him each day. One of the primary ways God has given us to grow is His Spirit overflowing from one believer to the other. As a church, we have encouraged all our members and struggles to learn from each other and grow together.

Devoted to Joyful Generosity

We believe God has given each of us unique resources and opportunities to build up the other members of the church and bring Him glory in the world. We do everything we can to encourage people to be generous with their time, talents, and treasure. We, as people whom God has called together in His name, do not exist for ourselves but for each other and for our community. We are learning to love and give like a family, and our family should always grow.

Devoted to Scripture

We believe the Bible is the word of God and the primary way He speaks to us. Our worship service is centered in the Scriptures; we prepare our hearts to hear God’s work, hear from God through His word, and then respond with worship and service. We also encourage each other to read the Bible daily. We have a church reading plan where we read a chapter together daily. We also encourage each other to be in small groups and classes where we study the Bible together in the community.

Devoted to Prayer

We believe in the power of God in all things! There is nothing on this earth that is outside of His hand. We also believe that God has uniquely given us the key to unlocking this power in our church, families, and lives. This key is prayer! We as a church encourage each other to surrender to God’s Spirit daily, thank God and worship Him wholeheartedly, and depend on Him together to lead us as we seek to honor Him and walk in His power as our great conquering King. We believe that through prayer, God uniquely opens our spiritual eyes so that we may see where He is working and join Him there.

At CPC, we dedicate our lives to adhering to our beliefs.

About Our ECO Denomination

The mission of ECO: A Covenant Order of Evangelical Presbyterians is to build flourishing churches that make disciples of Jesus Christ.

covenanted biblical community with a denominational context.

ECO is committed to cultivating a healthy, diverse, resource-rich ecosystem where pastors and congregations can flourish.
