Mission

National & International

Youth Mission Caravans
Youth and their adult advisors have been participating in annual summer Mission Caravans for generations at CPC. In 2008, Caravans will be doing construction and rehab of homes in Virginia and Kentucky, and volunteering with special- needs children at Camp Courageous in Iowa. For more information, including dates, registration forms and opportunities to provide scholarship assistance, contact Deb Helms, Director of Youth Ministries, or look under Education/Youth/Summer Mission Caravans.

CROP Walk
Each Fall, usually on a Sunday afternoon in October, CPC joins other local churches in our community's Church World Service CROP Walk. The goal of this event is: Neighbors walking together to take a stand against hunger in our world. Together we raise awareness and funds for international relief and development, as well as local hunger-fighting. Specific dates and information will be posted as soon as they are available. For more information, contact Rev. Dean Lindsey.

Cuba-La Iglesia Presbiteriana Reformada
Community Presbyterian Church has a sister church relationship with the Presbyterian Church in the city of San Antonio de los Baños, Cuba. In addition to financial support, we send and receive delegations of church members in order to build relationships and understanding between our two congregations and communities. We are hoping to send a delegation to Cuba in the spring of 2008.

Although our sister church does not have a website, you can find more information regarding our denomination's work in Cuba at the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) website.
