Central Pennsylvania Christian Institute

Central Pennsylvania Christian Institute

The Central Pennsylvania Christian Institute (CPCI) is a non-denominational, non-profit Christian organization that oversees the ministries of Way Truth Life Radio, Camp Kanestake, Puppets With a Purpose, and the Ezekiel Forum. CPCI was established in 1977 to serve the central Pennsylvania area through ministries that edify and encourage the body of Christ.

Ministries

Way Truth Life Radio

Way Truth Life Radio is non-commercial, listener supported radio broadcasting from two stations in central Pennsylvania. WTLR, 89.9 FM has served Pennsylvania’s heartland since 1978. WQJU, 107.1, Mifflintown, became CPCI’s second full power radio station in January, 1993. Serving listeners in an area to the south and east of WTLR’s broadcast range, WQJU operates as a satellite of WTLR, bringing identical programming to Mifflin, Snyder, Juniata and Perry counties.

Camp Kanesetake

Camp Kanesatake became a part of the ministries of CPCI in 1989 when the board of directors were made aware of the availability of the camp and the need for Christian camping in the central Pennsylvania area. The camp itself has a long legacy of being a source of cultivating learning and Christian growth in young people since its construction in 1923 by the Pennsylvania Sabbath School Association. CPCI's purchase of the camp ensured the continuation of this heritage into the 21st century.

Puppets With a Purpose

Puppets With a Purpose (PWAP) is a Christian-based youth ministry whose purpose is to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with fellow Christians and non-Christians alike through the use of puppets. From its inception in 1993 to today, PWAP continuously produces short stories mixed with music told by a team of 10-15 puppeteers and assistants.

Outreach is a major goal of PWAP. In addition to local performances at churches and youth events, the PWAP team has begun to take missions trips to foreign countries for the purpose of creating new puppet ministry teams in those locations. In 2005 the team traveled to Peru to form a group of Christian puppeteers that are able to minister to the local population. In 2008 the team is planning to travel to Poland to begin a similar ministry there as well.

Ezekiel Forum

The speaker series sponsored by CPCI is known as the Ezekiel Forum. Recent events have included Dr. Peter Jones speaking on the book "Da Vinci Code", sponsorship of internationally-known theologian and apologist Ravi Zacharias, and financial teaching from the Biblical Stewardship Series.

Governance

CPCI is governed by an uncompensated board of directors made up of Christian laymen from various area churches. The board reflects CPCI’s commitment to non-denominational ministry. Although they come from different church and theological persuasions, the directors lay these differences aside in order to work together in a cooperative effort to exalt their Lord.

Financial Responsibility

CPCI is registered as a not-for-profit corporation by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and reports annually to the Department of State as a registered charity. The Internal Revenue Service of the Federal government recognizes CPCI as a 501(c)(3) organization, therefore, qualified gifts to CPCI are tax deductible.

Accurate accounting records of all financial matters are maintained and reviewed monthly at each meeting of the Board of Directors. An annual audit is made by a certified public accountant and annual reports are filed with the appropriate governmental agencies.

CPCI is a member of the Christian Stewardship Association. Financial records of CPCI are open for inspection to contributors.
