Christ Memorial Presbyterian Church has been on the move in the last couple of months. This isn’t just about our construction, renovation, and asbestos removal but about where and how we “do” church together.

There’s an old children’s rhyme that goes…
Here’s the church, here’s the steeple, open the doors and see all the people.
Where do you see the people of CMPC? Where does the community and the world see CMPC? Where are we the hands and feet of Jesus Christ in the community and the world?
As we continue our renovation and construction, we will continue dreaming and planning about how it will expand the ministry God has called all of us as CMPC to go, do, and be.
