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!
Coming Up Next Week:
A Special Anniversary Celebration!
CHPC will be celebrating our 75th anniversary in ministry by welcoming the Rev. Dr. Anna Carter Florence into our community! Dr. Carter Florence is the Peter Marshall Professor of Preaching at Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, Georgia. She is a nationally known Presbyterian preacher who is passionate about creative strategies for communities to engage and encounter the biblical text.

We are delighted to welcome Dr. Carter Florence into the pulpit to lead us in worship that morning and to host a special conversation about the Book of Jonah that Sunday evening. All are welcome to participate in this bible study discussion at 5pm in the gym. Please spread the word about this great opportunity to learn and worship as we give thanks to God for our past while looking forward to our future!
