Church Profile:

City Park Church (CPC) is a bible teaching, gospel preaching, family oriented Southern Baptist Church in Fort Collins, CO. As a church, our mission is to cultivate flourishing disciples of Christ by teaching through, abiding in, and living out God's word together.

City Park Church's existence is a testament to the faithfulness of God. One of the first Southern Baptist churches in Northern Colorado, Immanuel Southern Baptist Church, was planted in 1955. Construction began on the original sanctuary of our current building in 1959. In 1965, the education wing was completed and the new portion of the building, including the sanctuary, was added in 1984. In the early 1990's, the church endured a prolonged season of difficulty and shrank to about 30 members. Through prayer, cooperation, and the faithfulness of the remaining members, Immanuel experienced a resurgence of miraculous growth, paid off debt, and returned to health. In October 2019, the church changed its name to City Park Church (due to its close proximity to City Park) in order to identify with the community. In the Spring of 2022, CPC called Noah Adams to serve as our Lead Pastor and he continues to serve in that capacity alongside two other full time staff members and a handful of additional part time ministry leaders.

Weekly attendance ranges from 140-180 on average. Our church is filled with people eager and excited to gather together and worship the Lord. We believe that with the right person at the helm as our Worship Director, our church will continue to grow and thrive and reach our community with the gospel. CPC is financially stable, debt free, and able to healthily afford a part time Worship Director.

Located across the street from City Park and just minutes from Poudre High School, Colorado State University, and Old Town – our building is uniquely placed near the heart of Fort Collins with great opportunity to build something special at our church. CPC is truly intergenerational with children, students, young families, empty nesters, and retirees in attendance every week. A recent survey taken by CPC church members revealed that our greatest strength as a church is our strong, faithful, intergenerational membership.

We are excited to see what God is doing at City Park Church and who God might bring to strengthen and disciple our worship team and equip our church to sing the praises of God. May God be given glory and may we devote ourselves to him, his word, and his kingdom!
