On June 6, 2026, CPBC’s Financial Secretary, Teresa Smyser, passed away after a long and courageous battle against cancer. While we rejoice that Teresa has gained her heavenly reward, we also grieve the loss of our friend and coworker. Teresa faithfully served CPBC for ten years, faithfully handling the financial affairs of the church with the utmost integrity and diligence.

While most of her service was “behind the scenes”, she was also a welcoming voice over the phone or when church members visited the office. Please be in prayer for Teresa’s husband, Keith, and her family, as well as for our Personnel Committee, as we begin a search for a new Financial Secretary.
