INTRODUCTION

Welcome to our Online Church Directory, a secure, interactive photo directory for our CPCBA family!  This webpage includes information about the Online Church Directory software product, how to access and personalize your own information, and who to contact for help. 

The directory includes photos and contact information of the CPCBA members, staff and active friends of the congregation and the directory is password-protected.  Each family has been assigned a unique username and password for accessing the online directory.  If you are a CPCBA member and don’t know your username and password, please send an email to CPCBADirectory@gmail.com.

The online directory is accessible on your computer and even has a user-friendly app that you can download to your phone.
