Colonial Heights Presbyterian Church is a congregation that 

values a diversity of belief. Whether you're full of faith or full of doubt, 

you'll find people who have been there and accept you for where you are.

We welcome all people to worship, pray, eat, seek spiritual answers, and enjoy life within this community of faith. All are welcome!

The Tomb is empty and Christ is risen! We had such a wonderful time last Sunday during our Easter morning service. Thanks again to everyone who came out in the beautiful weather to hunt eggs multiple times and to celebrate the risen Lord with us at Colonial Heights Presbyterian Church!

This coming Sunday is a special worship service for all God's children at CHPC. Things may look a little different, but it's important that we intentionally meet the resurrected Christ in new and meaningful ways. Throughout worship, we walk the Emmaus road to teach each other, and especially our children, about the importance of coming together at Christ's Table. All are welcome to participate, and even talk out loud too, in this fun-filled exploration of God's Good News with our kids in the sanctuary. Please invite your family and friends to join us as this is a great way for us to share God's love with children of all ages in our community! Please note, a nursery will still be provided for our littlest Presbyterians.

Sunday's Scripture:

Luke 24:13-35

"The Road to Emmaus"

Don't Forget about our

Weekly Coffee & Fellowship Time!



Gathering together in fellowship is an important aspect of our worship life at CHPC. All are welcome to share the Peace of Christ during a time of Christian hospitality with coffee before worship, beginning at 9:30 in the Parlor. Hope to see you there!

One special way you have helped to make a difference is fundraising to host a Rise Against Hunger missional event.

In just four weeks, CHPC raised $4,695! Thank you so much for rising to the occasion and making sure this event can take place. If you would still like to give, you may do so online via the website here. Thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus, as together, we can help turn the tide against hunger!
