This year’s breakout options will fill your cup, challenge your leadership, and grow your ministry unlike ever before. We cannot wait to unveil the CPC26 Breakout List as we draw closer to CPC26.

Here is an example of the training offered at this past year’s of CPC:

Coaching

As a CPC26 participant, you have the opportunity to schedule a free, 30 minute one-on-one coaching appointment! This unique opportunity allows you to bring a specific question or issue to a personal, one-on-one conversation with an experienced ministry leader.

During CPC, you will find valuable information, resources, free gifts, and experts to connect with about your ministry’s needs! The Resource Providers at CPC26 are approachable friends who are happy to answer your questions, so plan to visit and chat with them throughout the event.

It wouldn’t be the Resource Center if there weren’t amazing giveaways, prizes, and games… this year will be no exception! You’re not going to believe the prizes and giveaways coming!
