    Staff

  • CPC is governed by elders, both staff and volunteer lay elders. Our elders are responsible for the oversight of the ministry of the church and are nominated and elected by the members of CPC. They seek to discern the mind of Christ as we follow Him in all that we do as a church.

    The deacons represent the hands and feet of Christ, servant leaders who care for our church and our local community.

Our Denomination

CPC is affiliated with the EPC, a denomination of over 600 churches around the United States. We are a part of the Presbytery of the Pacific Southwest, as one of 32 churches from California and Nevada. The focus of this presbytery is: Ministerial Support (supporting new churches coming to the EPC in the Western Region), Church Planting, and World Outreach.

The EPC is a denomination formed in 1981 and had its beginning in the Reformation under John Calvin (1509-1564). The Constitution of the EPC consists of the Book of Order (comprised of The Book of Government, The Book of Discipline and The Book of Worship), the Westminster Confession of Faith (including the Larger and Shorter Catechisms), and the document Essentials of our Faith. All these documents are subordinate to Scripture, which is "the supreme and final authority" on all matters on which it speaks.
