At Christ Presbyterian Church, we believe that we are called to flourish as a community of believers.

But this doesn’t happen without YOU. We know that we need one another—and that we all play a role in building this community of faith and reaching others with the grace of God. In the following pages, witness God’s faithfulness as we engage in Flourishing Relationships, pursue a Flourishing Faith, and share a Flourishing Hope. THEN ASK YOURSELF: How does God want to use me? How can I make an impact for His Kingdom?

Because a flourishing church is about everyone. So let’s see what God can do as together we boldly extend the invitation Jesus makes to us, to everyone! MINISTRY OVERVIEW 2018/2019

W Praying for Pastor John & Laura Crosby at December’s celebration.

Pastor Ron Hawkins became CPC’s Transition Pastor in April 2019.

ith the announcement of Pastor John Crosby’s retirement, seven Transition Teams were formed to oversee this transition period, consisting of 37 members of CPC. These teams have diligently worked to celebrate and honor the ministry of John and Laura Crosby, search, hire, and assimilate our Transition Pastor, communicate with the congregation, support staff, and pray for this season.

We want this process to be covered in prayer! Our PRAYER TEAM sends out weekly prayer texts to

recipients
