About Worship at CPC

Worship is central to the life of Collegiate Presbyterian Church.  Each Sunday we come together as a community to cultivate a sense of reverence and awe for God. The sermons are biblically based, provocative, and relevant to the practice of the Christian faith in our daily lives. Our services follow the rhythm of the liturgical year.  Music has a special place in our worship services, helping to open the doors of our souls and draws us closer to God. Childcare is provided for infants and preschoolers during all worship services.

Traditional Worship
The 9:00am Sunday Traditional service is held in the sanctuary. While most of our music is drawn from the classical traditions, we celebrate using a diversity of hymns, responses and anthems. The reading and preaching of God’s Word is central. We share joys and concerns for prayer each week. The Lord’s Supper is celebrated the first Sunday of each month and a “Time for Young Disciples” is offered twice monthly. In addition, our worship life is enhanced by special seasonal worship services, including Christmas Eve, Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, and Good Friday.

Contemporary Worship
Our 11:15 am Sunday Contemporary service is also held in the sanctuary. This is a casual, user-friendly service for all ages.  Led by our awesome praise band, all are invited to gather as we sing praises to God together. Following a similar order of worship as in the traditional service, this service is much less formal in dress and worship style.
