"I grew up believing who I am was a sin and that there was no home for me in a church. Until I found CPH, I had given up on religion. This church has given me, my wife, and my children a loving community to be a part of. If you want a safe place to go, you’ve found it!!!"
"On my first visit I was welcomed with open arms, love, and respect. This opened my eyes that there are true Christians, with no judgment for race, sexuality, or economic status. "
"We have three generations of family here because we needed a place that saw the injustice of the world but wasn’t without hope."
"We don't just read the Bible—we learn historical context, unpack translation choices, compare past and current interpretations, and wrestle with theological ideas."
"We were quickly welcomed in with open arms and everyone made us feel as if we’d been going for years. The diversity and inclusiveness in love shared across not only the community but the pastors and staff is what keep us looking forward to service every week that we can make it."
"I was looking for a church that would accept me just as I am. I found this at the Church at Ponce and Highland. I am no longer burdened with the idea that I’ve never been what God wanted me to be."
"I feel safe to be my authentic self and to seek support from pastors and friends at CPH. The support from CPH helped me overcome one of the most challenging periods of my life."
"CPH does a great job bringing people together to worship in a space that values people who may traditionally feel shunned by places of worship."
