CPC is asking city leaders to consider policies that will better address the crises that our neighbors without homes are facing. Staff have met with leaders to ask for more emergency shelter beds and greater accessibility for individuals with the highest risk. We’re also asking for safe places for our neighbors to camp and park their cars. Read more about our advocacy efforts and the Neighbors Program here.

“Safety is not the absence of threat. It is the presence of connection.” – Gabor Mate
It’s hard to feel safe in a world riddled with conflict and violence, where basic civil rights are threatened each day. But our safety doesn’t come from eliminating all threats. It comes from opening our hearts to connect with God and our neighbors. At Central Presbyterian Church we do that through worship, service, and spiritual formation courses. Mark your calendars and join us this fall as we seek to connect, grow, and live courageously.
Students and teachers – bring your backpacks to be blessed. All – stay for a light lunch and hear about our fall programs and groups.
