Important News about CPC's Affiliation with PCUSA
CPC's denominational affiliation is currently with Presbyterian Church USA (PCUSA), one among a number of Presbyterian denominations. On February 2, 2010 CPC’s Session unanimously voted to initiate a process, which will allow CPC to be graciously dismissed from the PCUSA “Gracious Dismissal Process SF Presbytery” and seek affiliation with the Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC). See below "CPC's Communications and Resources to the Congregation" for information shared to date. The Session will lead a series of "Reason for Change" weekend seminars and Town Hall meetings (see right column for schedules). We encourage all CPC members to attend. Join us in prayerful listening as we seek together to discern our path ahead.
The EPC is a denomination formed in 1981 and had its beginning in the Reformation under John Calvin (1509-1564). The Constitution of the EPC consists of the Book of Order (comprised of The Book of Government, The Book of Discipline and The Book of Worship), the Westminster Confession of Faith (including the Larger and Shorter Catechisms), and the document Essentials of Our Faith. All these documents are subordinate to Scripture, which is “the supreme and final authority” on all matters on which it speaks.

CPC's Position Statements on Key Issues
Losing sight of their clear, Christ-centered identity, strong factions in the PCUSA are increasingly conforming to and embracing the beliefs and morals of our culture. This has caused a denominational drift on theological, moral, and political issues. We grieve that our General Assembly has taken some actions which we are diametrically opposed to and therefore, feel it is important to emphasize our commitment to the following positions.
