CPC is one of the oldest PCA churches in northern New England. It began in the late 1970s, shortly after the PCA was formed in Birmingham, AL in 1973. As an early PCA church in northern New England, CPC was actually governed directly by the General Assembly (the annual business meeting of the PCA), a very rare occurrence. Alongside the General Assembly, First Presbyterian Church in Jackson, MS played an important part in the early life of CPC.
