Celebratory Church Gathering

A CHURH ROOTED IN COMMUNITY SINCE 1958

Join us Sunday at 10:30am, in person or online.

This is a church where faith feels lived-in, not performed. Where the person leading worship might be someone you've known for twenty years, and where growth means welcoming new voices without losing what makes this place feel like home.

THE FUTURE TODAY

A Different Kind of Sunday

On fifth Sundays, something remarkable happens at CPC. Our children step into leadership, handling the tithes and portions of the service themselves, while a young minister takes the pulpit for Youth Sunday. It's a tradition that shows our youngest members aren't just the church of tomorrow, they're already leading today.

GROWING FOOD, FEEDING NEIGHBORS

SHARING OUR GARDEN

Our Community Garden isn't just a hobby, it's part of how we care for Portsmouth. Produce grown by our own members supports our Food Ministry, turning hands-on service into meals for families who need them.

Ministry Led by the People in the Pews

At CPC, our elders don't just serve on a board, they rotate through leading Sunday worship itself. It's a model of shared leadership that reflects something core to who we are: this church runs on the hands and hearts of its own members, not a single person at the front.

FAITH-CENTERED EDUCATION

Since 1973

The Thomas B. Hargrave Educational Center began as one church's answer to a community need, and over fifty years later, it's still shaping young lives. TBHEC isn't a separate organization down the street, it's this congregation's own ministry, extending our values into the daily lives of the children and families we serve.
