Find hope.
Be hope.
At Community Presbyterian Church, we come together each week as a gathering of people who are open to each other in all our diversity. We come together to talk and listen, learn and teach, laugh and cry, sing and pray. Along the way, we figure out how we can love others, love God, follow Jesus, and not only find hope for ourselves, but be hope in the world as well.
If that’s the kind of church you’re looking for, you’ll fit right in here.
Community —it's in our name.
At Community Presbyterian Church, community is part of our name because we’ve seen how important it is and what a difference a sense of connection and real belonging makes in our lives. We embrace diversity in race, sexual orientation and identity, socioeconomic status, physical ability, and age.
​
Church isn’t just about caring for those within our walls — it’s about caring for those outside of them, too. Jesus told us to love our neighbors — all our neighbors. We talk about what’s going on in the world and look for real, practical ways we can be loving neighbors, both nearby and far away. We strive to be a part of changing things for the better. Whether you’re interested in helping at the church, getting involved in a local community effort or participating in a global mission project, we hope you’ll join us, in whatever way you can.
There's a lot going on around here.
From our communal Sunday morning gatherings to smaller groups and events focused on specific interests, there are plenty of ways to connect. We have something for all ages and backgrounds! If you aren’t sure where to start, reach out to one of our staff—we’d love to help you.

Attending a church for the first time can be a little intimidating, but we’d like to make the experience as relaxed as possible. If you have questions about what a typical service is like, what we believe, what to wear, where to park, that sort of thing, you will find a lot of answers here. And if you have any other questions, we’d also love to talk with you via phone, email or in person.
