CPC’s New Church Center App
It’s been months in the making and now it’s finally here – CPC’s new App! With the Church Center App, almost everything we need for church life will now be in one convenient place, making it easier than ever to stay connected and engaged.
We understand that transitioning to new technology can be a bit daunting. Many of us been accustomed to systems like Realm, or perhaps even just searching through old emails looking for information on the Weekly e-letters. We’re excited to announce that the Church Center App is not just a replacement for Realm, but an upgrade, bringing a host of features designed to streamline our communications and enhance our overall church experience. As we embark on this journey together, we encourage everyone to be patient during the transition. Learning a new system takes time, and we’re committed to providing resources and support to ensure a smooth shift.

Church Center FAQs

1) What is Church Center?
Church Center is the name of the congregation-facing app where church members can find quicklinks to explore, engage, and connect with CPC throughout the week. CPC is transitioning away from Realm and Sunday links on Linktree, and will utilize this new church management platform going forward.
2) Why is CPC moving to Church Center, and in what ways can I use Church Center?
Church Center is a user-friendly app, and we hope to accomplish more centralized communication and achieve better engagement of our regular attenders by using it. Overall, it’s a more efficient church management system, allowing users to manage profile information, submit forms, and quickly register for events and life groups, among many other options. More features, such as personalized calendars and notifications, become available as you participate and get connected to groups and activities.
3) How can I be sure my information is secure in the Church Directory?
Only approved members who have received an invitation email and have been verified by our administrators can access the Church Directory information. Individuals have complete control over what information they choose to share with the directory and what they wish to keep private.
4) What if I don’t have a smart phone, or choose not to download the App?
Church Center can be viewed in a web browser, giving access to the same information found on the App. (Only a few features are exclusive to the App). Visit cpceco.info/app and choose Log In. Click “Use an email address instead” under the Next button, to receive a verification passcode by email. You can access event registrations by scanning an event’s QR code or typing its short link. They typically start with “cpceco.info/ ”
5) Which phone number do I use when I first try to enter the App?
Use the mobile number you are using the App with. A verification code will be sent immediately for access.
6) The App recognized my number and multiple profiles appeared. Which profile do I choose?
Select any profile. Contact us and we can help resolve profile duplicates.
7) What if I forget my Church Center password?
Church Center utilizes passcodes, not passwords. Use your mobile number or email address to receive a verification passcode to log in. At anytime you may update your profile to connect your preferred email and mobile number to your profile. CPC’s office cannot reset your login for you, but we can help update your contact information if you are having trouble receiving the passcode. Please contact us to help you with this.
8) Do I need to log out of Church Center App regularly?
This should not be necessary. Your profile information is not viewable to the public. If you are concerned about security on the app, please choose “Require Touch ID (or passcode) to use the App” when setting up.
9) I need help installing and understanding how to navigate the App.
We’d love to help! Meet with us in the lobby on Nov 19th when we first launch the App. Ask anyone on our Welcome Team, stop by the office during office hours, or email us anytime at info@cpceco.org.
