Ifeel grateful and blessed to have so many dedicated and passionate individuals who volunteer their time and energy to serve our church and be a part of spreading the Gospel. Each week, I am amazed by the selflessness and commitment of those who do things like lead our worship, teach our children, and care for the needs of our community.

There have been many who have just recently stepped up to volunteer in new ways, and I have been particularly excited by their enthusiasm and care. It is truly inspiring to see their eagerness to serve and their willingness to go above and beyond to make a positive impact. Their passion and energy have brought new life to our community, and it is a joy to serve alongside them.

Words cannot express how much I appreciate each and every person who gives their time and talents to serve at CPC. Your generosity and kindness have helped so many and have created a welcoming and supportive environment for all who enter our doors. Without your selfless dedication and commitment to Jesus and the Gospel, our church would not be the thriving and vibrant community that it is today.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all who serve at our church and spread the love and message of Jesus and the Gospel. You are a gift and a blessing to us all.

Crowder serves as Senior Pastor
