New Focus is a ministry at CPC whose purpose is to assist its members in transitioning out of homelessness.  The ministry offers one on one financial management training, where members are assigned an individual coach to help them learn how to create and live within a budget.

Most members come from Opportunity House, Vacaville's Homeless Shelter.  New Focus Directors are in close touch with case managers at O House.

The ministry incorporates all aspects of members' lives to include guidance in parenting, childcare, transportation, seeking meaningful employment, furthering their education, and navigating medical and legal issues.

New Focus is staffed by volunteers who are motivated by their caring about those in our community who need assistance.  We are completely funded by donations, such as yours.

Thank you for supporting what we consider a vital program within the community of Vacaville.

Tuesday morning 9:30 - 11:30 - Quilter's Circle in the Social Hall - Come join other women who love to sew and put small quilts together. No experience required. These ladies will teach you what you need to know to help out. The quilts are made and then donated to convalescent hospitals in town. Most of the materials used to make the quilts are donated. Some of the quilts are sold to help raise money for postage to send out the Operation Christmas Child shoe boxes at the end of the year. Led by Pauline Sparks.

Paint for a Cause - Check out the events page to see if there is a painting class coming up you would like to attend. These are paint-along with the artist classes and usually last 2 - 2.5 hours.   They are held in the evenings at 6:30 pm or on a Saturday morning at 10 am.  Sorry, we do not serve wine, but if you come and paint with us, you will be filled with living water and your money goes to a good cause because all proceeds support missions. Led by Traci Becker and Diane Henderson.

Community Outreach - This sub-group is always looking for ways to serve the community of Vacaville and reach others for Christ.  Check the events page to see when and where we gather and what we are doing. Led by Traci Becker.
