We believe that Christian discipleship is a holistic endeavor, involving a whole life transformation that impacts every aspect of our life. At the very center of any "school" of discipleship is Christ in the gospel, wherein the life of God is given to all who believe in him. The gospel is the free gift of God’s grace possessed by faith in Christ alone. It is the discovery of being set free from the fear of divine and human condemnation, even as this transforms our relationships, our work, and our worship! The Gospel is nothing less than the "power of God unto salvation!"

Any school of discipleship will involve at least three components — "word, worship, fellowship." The emphasis at CPC is in the two contexts where all three come together—in formal worship on Sundays and in the informal context of family groups that are located throughout the downtown and greater New Haven region (see "Worship at CPC" and "Fellowship Groups at CPC"). It pertains to the teaching and training aspects of the "word" component especially, as to complement the preaching at CPC, that we envision a CPC Study Center. The CPC Study Center is expressed in three major ways at CPC:

• The CPC Study Center Online
• The CPC Study Center Library
• The CPC Study Center Classes and Programs
