What to Expect

CHPC is a welcoming and inclusive church, and we invite you to visit.

All are welcome to join in our various service projects, musical programs, small-group classes, and social gatherings, as well as the wider life of the church.

We are a multi-generational church, and blessed to have many young families with children who join in worship.
