What is CDT?

CDT (The Christmas Dessert Theater) is intended as an outreach event allowing friends, family members and co-workers to gather around tables and share Christmas Cookies, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, good conversation and a drama and musical presentation designed to prepare everyone to be refreshed and able to enjoy a blessed Christmas season. 


The cookies are homemade, decorated and packaged by a large group of volunteers. Students from the church serve the tables with the desire to establish a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. 


This event is also a fundraiser for our students, giving them the opportunity to raise funds for retreats, camps, and mission trips. All in attendance will benefit from their service and have the opportunity to donate to their support.
