New members Orientation
Church membership is important for a growing Christian. Understanding the beliefs of a faith community helps to make an informed decision. CFPC provides a four session orientation for all who wish to join this church family.
Confirmation Classes
Teenagers often come to church because they are forced by their parents. Confirmation classes help them answer questions such as: Who is God? What does God expect from me? Why should I submit to Jesus? And what does it mean to be Christian?
