Proverbs 22:6 ESV
We believe that one of the church's most important responsibilities is to teach and care for the children that God has placed in our lives. Our high school ministry seeks to live this out towards CPC's high school students and their families. Below you'll find more information about our weekly youth group, our leaders, our upcoming events, and other helpful resources.
YOUTH GROUP
During our Spring 2025 semester, we're going to be in a series called "Disciples" where we'll look at what it means to be a disciple of Jesus and how that identity sets us apart in difficult and joyful ways.
Each week, one person provides snacks for the group. If you'd like to sign up to provide snacks for the group, you can do so by pressing the button below.
