Sena Norton is being ordained at St. Mark Lutheran (next door to First Congregational UCC Salem) at 1pm on Sunday, September 24th (following the CPC Annual Gathering).

Siblings, we gather THIS WEEKEND in Salem to be still, worship, pray, connect, do the work, and go!

All general resources, resolutions, and reports for the 2023 Annual Gathering can be found on the Annual Gathering Resource page.

Check back often as documents are added and updated leading up to the gathering!

Childcare is available for children 5th grade and younger on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday morning at First Congregational UCC Salem if requested by Sept. 15.

The CPC is a cosponsor of this event, because Tyler is a speaker, so all CPC members get to register at a discounted rate, and organizers are committed to making this event an excellent experience for online attendees. 

Be Still and Go - CPC Annual Gathering 2023

September 22-24, 2023

First Congregational UCC 700 Marion Street NE

Salem, OR 97301

Just like that drum circle, when the music wanes we need that steady drumbeat, so we will have the container to imagine and improvise together and swell the music again.

Registration opens for Be Still and Go - The 2023 Annual Gathering of the Central Pacific Conference of the UCC on August 25!

Camp Adams needs kitchen volunteers on Monday and Tuesday and Saturday volunteers to help with cleaning and grounds upkeep. Please call or text June Boutwell, Camp Manager at 503-718-1145 or email at campadamsed@cpcucc.org.

The CPC has had a long-held tradition of participating in Portland Pride weekend to show our LGBTQIA+ siblings and their allies that God loves them and we do too! It’s a wonderful opportunity to take our Open and Affirming “light” out from under a bushel and shine it widely. Plus, everyone is so friendly and welcoming. It is such a great time!

Summer camp directors and the camp manager will be available by Zoom to answer any questions you may have about summer camp.

Looks like it's going to be mid-high 70's with little to no precipitation and plenty of sun. Come have fun in the sun at Camp Adams!

Help us get our camps ready for summer. Your help is needed!

There are a number of positions that need to be filled to make camp a success this year!

READY, SET, GO WORKDAY, June 3, 2023 - All are invited to come to Camp Adams on June 3 for our Ready, Set, Go Workday!

It’s not too late to register for summer camp!

Camp Adams is pleased to welcome Alaquinte MoonFeather as our new facilities manager.

This is an in-person/online hybrid event, including a workshop with Central Pacific Conference, United Church of Christ Conference Minister, Rev. Tyler Connoley:

The Central Pacific Conference of the United Church of Christ stands with our transgender, nonbinary, masculine-of-center, gender-fluid, and gender-queer siblings. You are a divine gift. The kin-dom of God is not complete without your presence. You matter to God, and you matter to us.

We're excited to announce that our Transitional Camp Manager for Camp Adams will be The Rev. June Boutwell. I’ve attached a short bio and photo of her below.
