Christ Presbyterian Church (CPC) is a vibrant faith community with an evangelical staff and an intergenerational focus, serving a diversity of backgrounds. Started more than 60 years ago by a handful of families, CPC has grown into a community of approximately 1800 who gather to worship God on any given weekend with a vision to boldly extend the invitation Jesus makes to us, to everyone.
Set in Edina, a first-ring suburb of Minneapolis, we are easily accessible and serve the surrounding communities of the south and southwest metro of Minneapolis. We are a part of and a catalyst for the fast-growing ECO denomination (A Covenant Order of Evangelical Presbyterians). Because faith is a lifelong journey, Christ Presbyterian Church has cultivated a community with deep roots, spanning and honoring all generations.
CPC affirms what the church in all ages and places has proclaimed as a foundation of the Christian faith: The Apostles’ Creed, the uniqueness of Jesus Christ, and the authority of Scripture.
