A Little About CCUPC
Cranberry Community U. P. Church
(CCUPC) is a place where the peace of God is
felt...a place where the people of God come
together to worship, learn and play as a family
and then be disbursed with the spiritual power
of God to witness in the world beyond these
walls. We are glad you have visited our website,
but even better would be to have you visit in
person!

Our Vision
It is the vision of Cranberry Community United
Presbyterian Church to be a community of faith

to
biblical standards. We will enthusiastically proclaim God’s
love, grace and hope; faithfully nurture one
another through God’s Word; generously reach out
with God’s care to those in need; and eagerly
reveal the transforming power of the Holy Spirit
in this congregation, the wider community and to
the ends of the earth.

 Reverend Nadine L. Roy
Nadine Roy, or Dena as she prefers to be called, joined the
CCUPC staff in January of 2007 as the Assistant to the
Pastor. In April of 2010 she was ordained as Minister of
Word and Sacrament and installed to the Associate Pastor
position.
Rev. Roy has been a
Western PA girl all of her life. She grew up in Bridgeville,
just south of Pittsburgh, where she was a member of Bethany
Presbyterian church. Dena attended Grove City College,
graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Christian
Thought. After college Dena enrolled at the Pittsburgh
Theological Seminary, where she earned her Masters of
Divinity Degree. During this time Dena served a congregation
in Crafton, PA.
Dena’s husband,
Brooks, has lived in Cranberry Township since the spring of
2004, and Dena joined him here in the fall of 2005 after
they were married. Brooks owns and operates a computer
consulting company in near-by Warrendale, PA. Dena and
Brooks welcomed a son, Solomon, in May of 2011, and the
family shares their home with two cats, Gigabyte and
Terabyte, and some fish.
Dena’s favorite parts
of her job include leading mission trips, and taking the
youth away for weekend events and retreats. There is
something amazing about taking time away to be in God’s
presence. Dena loves her work at CCUPC. It constantly amazes
her to see God’s grace at work in the members here and
throughout the world, and she feels honored that God has
allowed her to be a part of it. |
