Forms and Handbooks

• Prayer Request Form

  You may use this form to submit a prayer request directly to the administrator. Prayer requests are shared with our congregation in a weekly email and are prayed through by our staff.

• Building Use Request Form

  All uses of the building for members and non-members must be requested through our Building Use Form. If you would like to use the CPC Sanctuary or other room(s) for an event, please initiate your request by filling out this form. Someone will be in touch regarding availability and whether or not usage has been approved. If a CPC Member is serving as a sexton for their own event, or another's, please review the Sexton Responsibilities.

• Building Use Fees and Policies

  Read through our Building Use Fees and Policies for rates and guidelines on building usage.

• Certificate of Insurance (COI) Request Form

  The purpose of this form is to provide proof of insurance coverage requested by an outside entity where we are holding a church-sponsored activity. This could include such places as another church, camp, music venue, conference center, town facility, etc. Please submit as much information when completing the form, realizing that our insurer Church Mutual may come back with additional questions. Hence, the more lead-time prior to the event the better.

• Reimbursement Form

  In order to be reimbursed for a church expense that you paid for with personal funds, you must fill out a Reimbursement Form, include all necessary receipts, and email it to cpc@cfounlimited.com.

• Direct Expense Form

  If you require CPC to provide money for an expense beforehand, you must submit a Direct Expense Form to cpc@cfounlimited.com. If you are requesting funds over $600, then a W9 must also be obtained from the service provider and submitted along with your form.

• Mileage Reimbursement Form

  If you are requesting mileage reimbursement, please use the form attached and email it to cpc@cfounlimited.com. Please review the IRS Guidelines for keeping a mileage log here.

• Tax Exempt Form

  Please use our Tax Exempt letter and Cert 119 when making a purchase on behalf of the church. Please email admin@cpcnewhaven.org to request a digital copy.

• Mercy Fund Application

  The primary and first level of mercy assistance begins at the small group level where needs are most readily discerned and the individual dynamics understood in coordination with the small group coordinator. When assistance exceeds the ability of the small group, then the small group coordinator contacts the CPC Mercy coordinator who will consult with the Sr. Pastor and develop a plan for addressing the need. In the case of financial assistance, this application should be filled out and returned to our administrator. Or you may submit the application through an online form here.

• Life Event Support Initiative

  As the body of Christ, we desire to support members during major life transitions or events in ways consistent with being the family of God. Showering members with prayer in contexts of communal celebrations or grieving can be a great blessing, witness, and support to members in a way that makes tangible Christ's promise "I will never leave you nor forsake you" (Heb.13:5). During Christ's ascension ministry, we know that this promise is no less true given Christ's presence as mediated through the body of Christ on earth that renders the words of Christ in Matthew just prior to his ascension all the more realistic, "Behold, I am with you until the end of the age" (Mt 28:20). To learn more, refer to section 7.9 in the Leadership Handbook below.
