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!
Summer Children's Church Update
This week in worship, you might notice a small change in the order of service. That is because starting this Sunday, we are kicking off a new summer series of lessons for our children during Children's Church about the Lord's Prayer!

Often in worship on Sunday mornings, our children are downstairs already when we join our voices together for this time of prayer. So we wanted to make it a point of emphasis to teach our kids this important and life-giving prayer. So, during worship for the next few months, we will be sharing together in the Lord's Prayer a littler earlier than we are used to during our time with children.

It's a great opportunity for us as the church to live into the baptismal vows we take to teach by example the children entrusted into our care. Thank you for making space in our worship service for these little ones and for sharing these meaningful words from Christ with all of God's children.

Grace and Peace,
- Tyler
