Because the Gospel moves, I have found a purpose.

Because the G o spel moves, I can let go of my desire to control things and find peace knowing God is in control.

Dear church family,

CPC Night was such a fun night—for all the reasons you’d expect, and maybe for some you wouldn’t. For me, I absolutely loved the energy, the faces, and the chance to tell a story about God’s movement that’s big enough for all of us—past, present, and future. But, if I’m honest, what I REALLY loved was that CPC Night was a picture of what the church could be! A family of all ages and spiritual backgrounds sharing in a common vision of what’s possible when we stack hands and collectively make ourselves available to how the Gospel moves! There’s something that’s possible when we live with a spirit of openhandedness. There’s something that’s possible when we believe that everywhere we go, God has already gone before us and that He goes with us. There’s something that’s possible together that isn’t possible alone. And, most importantly, there’s something that’s possible when we are growing in our trust that the sacrificial love of Jesus has power to transform lives—mine, yours, and others.

Over the next four weeks, I’m excited to unpack the different ways we, as a church, can practice our faith to best position us to play along with the movement of the Spirit in our lives and our church. CPC Night wasn’t the end; it was the beginning! Let’s not settle for a full house and a good night, let’s open our hands together to receive the future that only God can give us. Let’s not settle for anything less!

Much love, Petey

Senior Pastor

Petey Crowder serves as

Alot has changed in our world over the past few years. In the fall of 2020, coming through a pandemic and social upheaval in our society, and having just installed Petey Crowder as only the third senior pastor in CPC’s history, it was clear to the elders and staff that our church was craving new direction. We needed new language and vision to help us articulate what we believe God is doing in our midst, who we are, and what it means to be a part of CPC.

Over our 67-year legacy, there have been various meaningful visions directing the ministry of the church. For the past few years our CPC Elders, along with Petey and staff leadership, have leaned into a process of clarifying our vision with intentional time, prayer, discernment, and listening to God. We’re grateful to God for how He has continued to strengthen and grow CPC through every iteration of our story and all the change that accompanies it.

We asked a few of our elders to share some of their memories about specific points in the journey of developing a new vision.

All the way back in January 2021, our annual Elder Retreat was held virtually. One morning was committed to prayerfully listening to what the Spirit was saying about the present and future of CPC. A few elders shared their memories of that retreat:

JD: I believed something significant had changed for the church at large coming out of COVID and that something had obviously changed transitioning from one longtime leader to the next. It was hard at the time to know what the feeling/sense of change was related to given the different levels up upheaval through which everyone had just walked.

LT: We listened to several speakers from the ECO National Meeting whose talks prompted important discussion and prayer among the elder board about what the world was experiencing and learning through the pandemic and the renewal that was possible on the other side. I remember conversations where we were discerning a desire for the people of CPC to be people who hunger and thirst for Jesus, who repent of ignoring Him, who humble ourselves, and pray to seek His face. People who walk slowly with Him and know what it truly means to be loved by Jesus. If we are transformed by Jesus, deep in our bones, we are much better equipped to do His transformational work.

Later, in the fall of 2021, considerable time and energy was spent reengaging people and inviting them back to in-person worship and programming. It was during this season when elders confirmed a new vision was needed.

Why was it time for a new vision?

JD: The new chapter of leadership paired with some of the seismic changes in culture, especially around the role that church plays for many that COVID revealed and accelerated, makes this a propitious moment to reset and envision what we are being called to next. We remain rooted in what is unchanging and eternal, but must bring forth new expressions of life and faith for our time.

LT: Our world, our community, our church had experienced enormous transition in recent years and God had been moving and speaking. We discerned Him calling CPC into this space, and it made sense to name it and unite around it.

AJ: Fresh leadership, emerging from COVID and challenges with racial inequity/George Floyd. We could sense God leading us to not just invite others but also to get serious ourselves about our relationship with Jesus, knowledge of scripture, and trusting God to transform our lives.

At the following year’s annual retreat, the elders spent significant time discussing important questions to start to uncover what a new vision might look like:

Who is CPC at its best? What is core to CPC? What do we want for people who participate at CPC? Where do we see God leading us?

AJ: Elders deeply considered the questions posed to us about CPC, and it was meaningful discussion. As we reflected and responded to them, I was struck by the consistent articulation of the beauty around the experience of community and care at CPC—how our values were still resonating and true. Jesus and the Gospel are and were center to who we are and why we exist as a church body. We shared different words, phrases, and examples, but it was inspiring to see how across all of our experiences, God has moved, been real and taken us deeper in our faith and relationship with Jesus. It was easy to see the yearning for more of Him.

Between February—June 2022, elders and staff spent time praying and working through the heart behind the words. In the Fall of 2022, we started to use the language in sermons and in our ministries.

What do you want CPCers to know about the process of developing a vision for CPC?

LT: It was a prayerful, slow process. I don't remember discussing a timeline. It was developed over the past few years as God prompted and led. As I am looking back over my notes today and praying, I am reminded of how God spoke to us as leaders of the church. I pray that CPCers will not settle for a minimally transformed experience with Jesus. I pray that through God's power we will slow down, sit at His feet, be vulnerable, and be deeply changed by the Gospel...and that deep change will impact our community and world.

TD: They need to know that this was a Spirit led, waiting on the Lord process. It was not rushed. We took time to listen to where the Lord was leading.

AJ: Every elder was respectful of our history, prayerful, thoughtful, patient, listened, and sought input and experts to help us articulate what we were hearing and sensing from God. This was not entered into lightly, but is exciting!

In January of 2023, the decision was made to partner with Open Book Communications to take the work fr0m the previous two years and get it over the finish line. This Includes a new vision, brand identity, website, and strategic initiatives that would help ensure the vision works its way deep within the life of our church. Open Book listened and learned from work that had been done AND they did their own interviews of elders, staff, and CPCers to develop the new vision statement for CPC.

What energizes you about a new vision for CPC given what you know about the process?

JD: It is coming at just the right time. We needed the space post COVID and some time under Petey’s leadership to step back and see things a bit more clearly. Anything before now might have been too rushed and potentially moved forward in some unhelpful ways. Waiting much longer without a clear articulation of where we are and where want to go would have also been detrimental. This new vision feels right on time.

AJ: The Gospel moves us—the word “move” is powerful and complex. Open to how the Spirit moves— the word “open” is about getting vulnerable enough to allow God in to work on me. The Trinity and reintroducing the Holy Spirit’s empowerment and active involvement is exciting to dig into deeper. This means life transformation—scary but a challenge to truly trust and pursue Jesus, expecting His action in our lives. If we embrace this vision, CPC will bring glory to God in ways we can’t even imagine and be a beacon of light drawing others in because they want to know what is so different and special about CPC. They’ll encounter Jesus!

TD: I am energized that CPC is all about Jesus!!! It is not about growth in numbers or programs, it is all about Him!

Together we will embrace four shared practices of openness.

The Gospel moves through God’s Word. Reflecting on what God says and what it means for our lives helps open us to growth in our personal relationship with God. Through practices of reflection, we can become more aware of why and how God is moving.

The Gospel moves among God’s people. Connecting with others in intentional, regular spiritual conversations helps expand and deepen our understanding of the role of Jesus in our lives. Through practices of relationship, we can learn and grow alongside each other in ways we cannot on our own.

The Gospel moves through invitation. Just as God extends the invitation of the Gospel to each of us, he calls us to invite others to experience the Good News of Jesus’s love. Through practices of invitation, we can grow in trust that God transforms lives beyond what we could ask or imagine.

The Gospel moves in every corner of life. What happens in church isn’t supposed to stay there. We want to see every place we go as somewhere God already is—and be open to how we can join Him. Through practices of integration, we can anticipate God’s presence and power wherever we live, work, and play.

Openness is a daily posture, not a one-time program or a task to complete. Cultivating this posture takes intentionality and consistency—and we think it takes community, too. At CPC, we want to embrace regular practices that help position us to anticipate and respond to God’s power and presence wherever we go.

Going Deeper with Jesus

with Michael Cocherell

Istarted coming to CPC in 2018, and last year I participated in “Deeper with Jesus”, a class taught by James Madsen. This class was an opportunity to learn about my humanness, how God understands us better than we do, and that through the Gospel His grace is sufficient to envelop it all. This reality should influence the way we live; it's not just for later in life—it matters here and now.

I’ve come to the place where I have to be honest about the fact that my perceptions are often deceptive. What I see, what I hear, what I smell, what I touch, shouldn’t run contrary to the unchangeable truth we learned about the Gospel. Instead of going there in my head, I have to find a way to remember who God says I am. The beautiful, unchangeable truth about what God has done for us, always stays the same! It's a stable platform, but I wander off of it all the time. No matter what, these truths can’t change that you are loved, you are treasured, God sees you, God sees us, and we are robed in the righteousness that Jesus gave us.

I had to accept, as difficult as it may be, that I'm a work in progress, and I really, always will be. I had fallen into a place where I thought that there was some kind of exclusivity to my sinfulness–and I had a worse version than everybody else. I don't know how we get duped into that mindset, and I find myself tripping over it still, to be honest with you. “Deeper with Jesus” helped me learn that there is no exclusivity to my adversities, sinfulness, or the pain that those challenges have caused because every human being has their own version of this. Understanding that was freeing to me, and in spite of my brokenness, my true identity is as God’s beloved child.

There are a few practical ways I have applied what I have learned in the class. I'm really diligent about starting my day with prayer because the world wants to pull me into the busyness of the day. I cast aside all the formalities of praying. Living alone in a condo, I speak my prayers out loud and find

it therapeutic to process with God. The class relayed to us that it’s like sitting down and talking with a wise father about stuff in life. And, of course, when I face difficulties throughout my day, I ask God for help. I'm fighting my propensity to see it as me against the adversity. I am learning to see it as God with me against the adversity because if it's just me, I'm always going to come up short. God has unlimited resources and when I think of it in that context, it allows me to ask Him “God, please come and sit with me and help me through this.” That really makes a difference in my life.

I have made an effort to be more conscientious about gratitude, making sure to thank God for each of the little blessings that He sprinkles along the pathway through each day. It's very subtle, but you need to have the eyes to see.

Michael’s story is one of many to come out of “Deeper with Jesus.” If you are searching for a place to go deeper with other people and learn how to be open to how the Gospel is moving in you and through you, “Deeper with Jesus” is starting a new cohort on Tuesday, September 26 at 7:00PM.

Kelly Sapmaz

Kelly attends CPC with her husband and two children and has led small groups of both kids and students during her time here.

She's been with her current small group for the last 3 years, and recently sat down with CPC Staffer Abbey Segura to discuss what she has learned through leading.

Abbey: Tell me about your family and what you do.

Kelly: I’m married to Alp. We’ve been married for 16 years. I have two kids, Charlie who is almost 14 and Audrey who is 11, and they’re awesome. I'm an art director, graphic designer, painter, and mixed media artist, and I work for myself. I've always loved art and being creative.

I moved to Minnesota from Michigan in 2001. A friend introduced me to CPC, and I started leading a small group of high schoolers. I'm still in touch with most of my high school girls that I had in those four years. When I started as a volunteer, I just said to myself, if I'm still here when I have kids, I absolutely want to have them be a part of this church. I want to be a part of this church, and I want to keep my kids here. CPC has made such an impact on me. I love the people, the authenticity and what we're learning.

I kept leading with the high school ministry, and then after having Charlie I started leading his group when he was in first grade. It's been many, many years, which has been really fun.

Abbey: Wow. It's cool to trace it back.

Kelly: Yeah, it’s been a long time.

Abbey: What does being a small group leader mean to you?

Kelly: I love being a small group leader. I love being able to share God's Word, and I love the fact that this is intergenerational. Leading a small group is working with a different generation, and I have a chance to be a part of their story, even if it's this tiny drop in a big ocean. It's an honor.

Abbey: That's great. It's something special. It is so important to find people like you who are committed to leading. Thanks, Kelly. What keeps you going and leading kids?

Kelly: I think it is the joy that I find. I've always loved leading kids; starting even as a sophomore in high school, when I was leading middle school students and going to camps. I love the development and changes that happen at that time. It's hard sometimes to parent my own middle schoolers. I still love them, and I love high schoolers too. I've always loved mentoring and working with people.

Abbey: That's great. What have you learned about yourself through leading?

Kelly: I've learned that God has called me to be an evangelist in my own way. When I was in college, I had a mentor call it out in me. She said, “Kelly, you’re an evangelist.” I thought, absolutely not. There's no way! I'm not one of those people on the street corner, waving signs and telling people what they should do or not do. That's not what it is. It's just quietly or even with volume, leading people to Jesus. I have finally

heard it and believed it about myself—I love inviting people, I love connecting people, it’s one of my favorite things to do. I love watching people grow.

Abbey: What about God? What have you learned about God through leading?

Kelly: I love that He has taught me that I don't need to be perfect. I don't need to be someone who has all the right answers, and I can even say that to the kids. It’s ok to say, “I don't know, let's find out” or “I'm still learning that.” He's taught me to rely on Him for everything. Because I have to teach kids to rely on God, it reminds me to rely on God. That's a good thing. Seeing their childlike faith reminds me how much God loves me as His child too. By serving Him, you grow closer to Him. It’s a privilege, the fact that I have a chance to serve Him and be a part of someone's life and their story.

Abbey: How have you changed through leading from when you first started to now?

Kelly: I think I've become more confident in the way I lead. It’s easy to question or wonder—did they listen? Did they hear this part or understand this point? Do they like me? Early on, I wanted them to like me, I wanted to be cool to them, and I wanted to know if I was even making an impact. I think as I got older, I learned that it shouldn’t matter to me, but it only matters to God. I'm just a part of the puzzle. I'm not the reason, God is. God does the work; He is in control and when

LEFT:Kelly's small group of 5th grade girls

I remember that it gives me peace. Now, I have moments or conversations with them that are really good, and I can trust that God will use those.

Abbey: What’s a highlight from leading? And then maybe something that's more challenging about leading.

Kelly: Seeing the kids find connections with each other even though they are all at different schools. They might have some similar interests and life situations going on, and it’s been a highlight to see them coach and help each other. Specifically, friendships were hard in fifth grade, for all of them, and it was neat to see them build friendships outside of school, at CPC. To see that there are girls who are for them and realize “oh, she feels that way too, it’s not just me.”

Abbey: I think that's been cool. Yeah, that's great. I love that. And then a challenge?

Kelly: I think it’s fighting against the feeling that I’m responsible for their faith journey in a way—probably most small group leaders feel that way. The challenge is making sure that I check myself and remember that God's still in charge. It has nothing to do with me. It’s also a challenge to be the same person, same leader, in every place of life and bring those other parts of me and what I’m learning as a mom or a wife into being a small group leader.

Small group leaders are an integral part of our Kids’ and Student Ministries here at CPC. If you would like to learn more about serving with Kids at CPC email danisem@cpcedina.org.

Our Newest Elders

CLASS OF 2027

Tim Bettenga

Margaret Kershner

Michael Bireley

I can’t imagine life without Jesus, without CPC, and without all the various faith-filled communities I’ve been part of. When my wife, Megan, and I walked through the Sanctuary doors at CPC and were welcomed with the sound of worship music, she immediately began to cry. We had found our church home. That was close to 14 years ago. Since then, our three children have grown up at here, and we have made lifelong friendships. It’s those friends that have challenged and grown us in so many ways. I serve as an usher, participate in men’s groups, and lead a community of men in prayer. Our marriage has grown strong and deepened throughout our twenty years because of these communities and CPC. Without that solid foundation there’s just no way I would have survived difficult times as a person, professional, husband, friend, and father. I look forward to continued growth and spiritual transformation, and I’m excited and honored to serve as an Elder.

I’ve been a member at CPC for nearly 30 years. My wife, Lori, and I raised our kids at CPC, met several families that remain our closest friends, and experienced the love and support of our CPC family through difficult times. We have been part of a bible study that has been together for over 25 years. So much of who we are, the friendships we’ve made, the growth in our faith, and the future path of our lives is tied to CPC. My wife and I learned the value and importance of getting involved and serving others by sharing the love and goodness of Jesus through the opportunities provided at CPC such as: Missions, Kids' Ministries, senior visitation, the deacon program, and so many others. I consider it a privilege to be asked to serve as an Elder and I am blessed by the opportunity to serve the church that has given me and my family so much over so many years.

When my husband and I moved from New Hampshire to Minnesota we were expecting our first baby and were on the hunt for a great, welcoming, dynamic church home. We quickly found CPC and felt like it was a great fit for our family. I joined Mom’s Morning and met so many wonderful moms and their families. I remember the hugs and meals that came when our daughter arrived in 2005. I still keep in touch with many of those women. Since we began attending, all three of our children have grown up running through the halls of CPC and attending camps. My journey with Jesus has grown stronger through community and activities at CPC such as serving on the deacon board and Parent Link for Student Ministries. I am excited to see where God is leading me and I’m grateful and humbled for the opportunity to serve as an elder of CPC.

Anne Webster

I grew up in Edina and joined CPC in 1996. CPC was the first and last church I visited! My knowledge of and faith in Christ have grown over the past 27 years through teaching Sunday school, serving on a missions committee, going to Africa twice, participating in a small group, classes, and most importantly serving as a deacon. These opportunities gave me the push I needed to make significant changes in my life. I am very grateful to CPC for the opportunities to serve, its challenging teaching, and its supportive community, as they have helped me to let go and give Christ control of my life. I am honored and excited to serve as an elder, to give back to CPC and to glorify God however He chooses to use me.

WHAT IS THE ROLE OF AN ELDER?

Elders are called to serve as spiritual leaders who seek to model in dayto-day life what it means to follow Jesus and to love and serve others. In addition, they work to be stewards and guardians of CPC's mission and vision, faithfully shepherd CPC's financial resources, and develop and encourage CPC's Senior Pastor and staff.
