Welcome to Community of Praise Baptist Church!

We describe ourselves as "A Life-Giving Cell Church Passionate for Jesus and Declaring His Glory in the Nations."  From our beginnings in the early 1990’s, we have been growing as church with a mission to make a difference by loving God, loving people and serving families, communities and even nations.

A move of the Holy Spirit in those early days launched a wave of ministry marked by passionate worship, gifts of the Holy Spirit and a heart for the harvest.  While we are known as a Baptist Church, the best way to understand who we are (our identity) and what we are all about (our assignment), is found in our mission and values.


Three Missional Values define our DNA and core purpose as a church:

We pursue Intimacy with God

We are focused on Evangelizing the Lost

We are intentional about Making Disciples

Along with this, we are on a journey to grow as a people who are:

  • Christ-Centered
  • Spirit-Filled
  • Word-Instructed
  • Worship-Focused
  • Cell-Connected
  • Missions-Engaged
  • Family-Building
  • People-Loving
  • Community-Serving
  • Prayer-Empowered
  • Ministry-Equipping
  • Kingdom-Pursuing

I hope this short introduction helps you to know a bit more about us.  You will find more on our mission, vision and values by clicking on the tab titled “About Us”.

The letters CPBC are a familiar way to identify our church.  More recently, we have been using C Praise as a fresh way to capture and emphasize the fact that besides being a Community of Praise, we are also Called to Praise, Committed to Praise, Creative in Praise, Constant in Praise and Courageous in Praise.  Besides these great “C” words, Praise also Communicates God’s greatness and Connects us to Him.  Praise is Contagious, Captivating, Compelling and even a Compass that points people to God.

So welcome to C Praise! As you browse through the rest of the site, I want to invite you to join us on this journey to become lovers of God, lovers of people and followers of Jesus who make a difference in the world!
