The Christian Education program at CPC covers nursery through adult classes.
even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
And I will establish my covenant between me and thee
and thy seed after thee throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant,
to be a God unto thee and to thy seed after thee.
Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house.”
(Acts 2:39; Gen.17:7; Acts 16:31)
Our Christian Education program at CPC is not intended to carry out this command for you; it is intended to come alongside you and be one of the many ways the Lord may use to fulfill His promise to you. So hold your children and our staff, accountable to the teachings we are presenting them by asking them what they are learning. We have crafted a comparatively rigorous curriculum. Occasionally I see flyers advertising youth programs at local churches and I can’t help but be saddened by them. A recent one offered a program that was expressly designed to counter the “boring” aspect of church. If we aim at making our school amusing, we may just get what we asked for: A- (without) muse- (knowing) ment.
Rather, it is our prayer that obedience would lead to blessing and that God would be sowing the seeds of reformation and revival in America, starting with the Church. As Neil Postman would argue, we have amused ourselves to death. The cathedrals and community churches that sat prominently at our town centers, (a visible representation of their impact on culture), have been replaced by arenas and malls. How and when did this transformation occur? That may be debatable, however, we know from scripture that judgment begins with the family of God (1 Peter 4:17).
A map of our property and the Sunday School locations is available in the fireside room in the church.
For the 2008-2009 school year, our classes are as follows:

Beginners Bible I: Genesis to Revelation The children will take a journey through the entire Bible learning about God's faithfulness to His people. |

| 3rd & 4th Grade | In The Beginning...Jesus The Bible reveals God's redemptive plan, which comes to complete fulfillment in the Person and work of Jesus Christ. The students will be presented with a historical mystery -- Jesus' death on the cross -- and ask the questions: "What really happened?" "Why did Jesus die?" and "Who did it?" To find the answers, they will start at the Bible narrative in Genesis and then move through the Old Testament searching for clues that foreshadow the coming of Jesus. |

Advanced Bible: Survey of the Old & New Testaments The children will take a final 2-year journey through the entire Bible with a focus on moving from milk to meat. |
