New Community Group: Looking for a place to grow in your faith and build meaningful connections? This new online community group treasures the Word of God and studies Scripture one book at a time. Together, we ask questions of the text, pray for the Holy Spirit’s illumination, seek biblical truth, and apply that truth to our everyday, cruciform life. Whether you’re new to CPC or have been around for years, you’re invited to join and grow in community with Chris Foreman and Stephen Lim.
Refuge Church Attendees: If you’re part of the Refuge Church family, we’d love for you to join us for a special luncheon with the Central Peninsula Church Pastors and Directors on Sunday, January 11 at 1:30 pm in the Student Ministry Room. This will be a relaxed and welcoming time to share a meal, get to know one another, hear more about the heart and vision of CPC, and ask any questions you may have. We’re grateful for the journey God is leading us on together and look forward to connecting with you in this meaningful way. Register today.
Christmas Outreach Fund Open-Handedness in Malawi: Since 2008, CPC has given away nearly $1.5 million through our Christmas Outreach Fund. This year, we’re supporting a remarkable story that began with an unlikely missionary—Howard Hibbs, a retired banker and Master Gardener who connected Malawi Children’s Mission with Tiyeni and later founded Tiyeni USA. Their work in Deep Bed Farming is helping families fight food insecurity, with a goal of making hundreds of farming families food-secure within five years. To learn more about this opportunity, visit cpc.org/christmas. Giving to the Christmas Outreach fund will end on January 15.
Baby Dedication: Welcoming a new baby into your family? Join us for our next Baby Dedication during Sunday services on January 25! This is a special opportunity to commit to raising your child to know and love Jesus, with the support of our church community. Register by January 5 at cpc.org/events. Questions? Contact Daniel.
Work Life: Moses, David, and Peter all learned to change careers. Join us Saturday, January 10, from 9-10:30 am at CPC, to hear spiritual reflections and practical tips from Ryan Takenaga who changed a career from finance to philosophy to medicine. Additionally, you can network and get one-on-one help from career coaches for support in your job transitions and challenges. Register today!
Night of Worship: Come experience a powerful and unforgettable night of worship and prayer, where bold praise and Holy moments create space for His presence. Join us as we realign ourselves with our creator to begin our new year on Sunday, January 11, from 6:30 to 8 pm. For more information, go to cpc.org/events.
Bay Area School Of Ministry Soul Care Class: This class will explore a biblical theology of spiritual formation, as well as the spiritual practices that are helpful as we seek to become conformed to the image of Jesus Christ. Particular attention will be given to these things as they apply to Christian leaders. How can Christian leaders care for their own souls? What are the dynamics of leadership that threaten the development of the inner life of the soul, and how can we overcome them? Teachers for this class are Dr. Mark S. Mitchell and Zohary Ross. Class starts January 11. For more information and to register, click here.
Women’s Retreat: Join us for the Spring Women’s Retreat at Mt. Hermon, March 13–15, 2026! This is a meaningful opportunity for women to gather, get away, and take time to reflect on God’s love and purposes for our lives. Leave the busyness behind and experience renewal of mind, body, and soul in the presence of Jesus. Rather than hosting our own retreat, we’ll be joining Mt. Hermon’s Spring Women’s Retreat alongside women from across the Bay Area for worship, teaching, and activities in the beautiful Santa Cruz Mountains. Registration closes January 11, so be sure to sign up soon. For more information and to register, go to cpc.org/events.
Student Ministries Laser Tag: CPC Students are heading out for an afternoon of laser tag on Saturday, February 21. It’s an easy, fun way to connect, compete, and build friendships in a totally different setting. For more information and to register go to cpc.org/events.
