Getting Together

Crash meets Sunday mornings for Sunday Breakfast Club from 9am - 10am in the Crash room at CPC. Students gather for donuts and bagels while hanging-out around air hockey, foosball, and ping pong tables. We open with a large group experience before breaking out into "chat-rooms" for small group discussion on how the Bible applies to real life.

The Girls of Grace Devotional for students and parents can be downloaded in Adobe PDF format using the following links:

Crash meets on Tuesday nights from 7:00-8:30pm in the crash room at CPC. This is a time for kids to be themselves and bring their friends. Great games, crazy contests, silly skits, relevant multi-media messages, and time to just hang-out.

Crash Campus Clubs meet at area middle schools throughout the week. In these clubs students grow closer together as they support and encourage one another to live for Christ at school. Our times involve games, food, discussion of a weekly Bible verse, and time to pray for one another. We have three clubs running now: Crestview, Rockwood Valley, and West.

Crestview Middle meets on Mondays in the Library from 2:20-3:20 p.m.
Rockwood Valley Meets on Wednesdays from 2:20-3:20 p.m.
West Middle meets on Fridays in the Foreign Language Well from 2:15-3:15 p.m.

Four students involved in Crash Ministry Crash students are involved in special events throughout the year: service projects and missions trips, lock-in, winter and spring retreats, summer camp, paintball, scavenger hunts, progressive dinner, ski trip, parent's desserts, etc.

Why Crash?

Crash is a great opportunity for your student to grow in relationship with Christ together with other students and adult leaders. Crash provides support for you and your student in navigating through the middle school years. And it's just a whole lot of fun!

CPC Crash Ministry Crash is the primary means by which CPC engages middle school kids in the four purposes of our church: celebration, growth, love, and impact. Through these facets we hope to bring students into the body of Christ, nurture them in their relationship with Christ, and equip them to serve in the name of Christ... All by the grace of God -- All to the Glory of God! "We're playing for keeps!"
