Habitat Repair Ministry
The Habitat Repair Ministry is a diverse group of volunteers who gather periodically to work on light construction projects that enhance the living conditions of those in need who cannot afford to take the steps necessary to make their homes safe and efficient. Projects that have been done in the past are Handicap ramps, small appliance installation, painting, siding replacement, and floor repair. If you enjoy working with others and lending a hand to home repair projects, we’d love your assistance.

Brookside Apartment Community- Weekly Tutoring and VBS
The Brookside Tutoring Group has had the privilege of tutoring 5-10 young adults from the Brookside Apartment Complex after school on a weekly basis during the 2023-2024 school year. This is a wonderful group of young adults who are excited and appreciative to receive support from CPC members as they work towards their academic goals.

Coalition for Human Care
The Coalition is an organization in Moore County where volunteers work together to help individuals in crisis assistance. Several of our members volunteer weekly with this worthwhile organization. Consistently their greatest need is for volunteers to help with “Screening” which works with clients to determine financial support.

CALL (Community Assistance Language Learners)
Do you love kids and want to teach them to read? You don't have to be bilingual!

TAMBRA Place
CPC rents a home on church property that provides a safe, nurturing, social learning environment for homeless and at-risk female youth in Moore County, ages 18-24. The goal of this program is to help prevent a lifetime of dependence on the state with a cost-effective, short-term investment in independent living which challenges participants to grow emotionally, spiritually, socially and financially in ways they often have not considered. The overarching service strategy is to provide educational support and therapeutic services in a home setting while providing an environment that fosters social skills and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) in order to be successful. ​More Information
