Why is CWC different than any other church?

In many ways! Arrive a few minutes early and you might grab a coffee from the coffee bar out front. Or, you might want to ask a question during the message, which will always be answered on the spot if possible. Or perhaps you have children, so you might want to let them join the other kids during the singing as they wave flags and dance. At CWC, we have tried to keep the best of the old, while allowing a new freedom and liberty into the meeting. You decide if we have succeeded. During the service, you may feel that you want to share with everyone how knowing God is important to you. There will be an invitation for you to do that!

Speaking of children, what about my young ones? What keeps them from getting bored (and you know what happens when kids get bored)?

We encourage all families to participate together in the singing time. The music is upbeat so kids usually really enjoy it.

Message. Isn't that a euphemism for "sermon" and therefore ...prepare me to get bored!

We practice an "Open Church" which means that everyone is encouraged to hear from God and then share what God is don't in their own lives. At CWC, we focus on real life issues and their solutions. Usually, people are challenged to address their own lives and rise to a greater experience of life!

What kind of people attend CWC?

We have a wonderful range of folks from the very young to the 'age-challenged' Presently, our demographics include 40% under twenty-five years old, a number of families, a few singles and a few retired folks. We are, like our city, primarily middle class, but not exclusively. No matter what you social or cultural background, you will find CWC a comfortable place to be part of.

What programs do you offer?

Because we are 'new', we decided to focus our attention on people, rather than programs.

How can I get involved?

Involvement at CWC is your choice. We are a permission giving church, so whatever your passion is, that's what we want you to do. We do have one criteria...it must fit with our 'DNA'; who we are and why we do what we do matters most.

What about Small Groups?

Small groups in the church are purpose-driven, such as our Worship team, and our Youth.

What about counseling and dealing with 'real' problems?

CWC does offer limited pastoral counseling, but we are privileged to have a partnering relationship with a qualified and expert counselor.
