About CP Youth

Every week teens are invited to join us for their very own worship services. Every service is designed to help teens understand their identity in Christ, connect in community, challenge them to live out the gospel, and of course have a ton of fun!

What You Can Expect

The Youth experience at Center Pointe is designed around four types of events to help our teens live out the gospel. 

Groups

We believe no one is made to walk alone. Groups are a safe place for teens to explore their faith, ask hard questions, be encouraged, and experience the bond of spirit filled community. 7th-12th, boys and girls small groups meet on Sunday evening as part of their service.

Parents

Parent Events are all about informing parents and equipping them as the primary influencers and trainers of their families. The goal of these events is to communicate how our ministry desires to walk alongside parents as they develop a family rhythm of discipleship with their teens.

Outreach

Outreach events are where we emphasize reaching the lost by providing a fun experience, like a Color War or Friday Night Friend-Z. The goal of these events is to create a welcoming environment to draw in the disengaged, share the gospel, and allow teens the opportunity to respond.

Hangouts

Hangouts are specifically intended for small groups to have fun together! Hangouts can be as simple as watching a football game or as adventurous as a day at Kings Island. The goal of these events is to connect relationally through shared experiences amongst teens and leaders.

Middle School Move

August 9th | 6:00-8:00 PM

Middle School Move, a milestone event designed just for parents and their rising 7th grader!

Parents, we want you and your child to be fully equipped, affirmed, and prepared for this next phase of life…middle school! Please RSVP as soon as possible so we have enough materials for the event!  You don’t want to miss this!

Registration closes August 2nd.

The ultimate fall kickoff is back, and it’s going to get messy! Join CP Youth on August 23rd from 6:00 to 9:00 PM as we kick off the new school year with our biggest, brightest event of the season.

Interested In

Baptism?

If you have made a decision to follow Christ, we encourage you to take the next step of Baptism. We believe it is an outward public testimony of an inward invisible transformation. If you would like to schedule a baptism or if you would like to learn more about baptism, we can help.

Connect with your group

We believe that students are not meant to live life alone, and that is why Groups are so important. The goal of every Group is to provide authentic community and spiritual growth for our teens.

Riley Plyler

Student Ministry Pastor

rileyp@cpcc.church

Riley joined the Center Pointe staff in January 2026 after moving to the Cincinnati area from Erie, Pennsylvania. Prior to CPCC, Riley served as the Youth Coordinator at Elevate Church in Erie, where he led both the student ministry and elementary ministry. He has a passion for helping students understand and engage with Scripture effectively.

Riley grew up attending a Lutheran church, where he participated in Sunday school through confirmation. Like many, his faith took a backseat during his teenage years as sports and other interests took priority. That changed during his freshman year of college when a friend invited him to a non-denominational church. Drawn in by authentic worship and a message he could truly understand, Riley continued attending and soon gave his life to Jesus. He immediately began serving in student ministry and quickly sensed a vocational calling to help students grow in their faith.

Riley holds a Bachelor’s degree in Biology from Kent State University and a Certificate in Pastoral Leadership from Samford University. He also attended medical school at LECOM, pursuing a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree before ultimately stepping away in 2023 to follow God’s clear call into full-time ministry. 

Riley enjoys playing golf, pickleball, and watching college and NFL football. Riley is excited to build relationships, serve alongside the CPCC team, and invest in the next generation as they discover who God is and how He is working in their lives.

Riley Latham

Family Ministry Worship & Tech Coordinator

rileyl@cpcc.church

Riley was born and raised in Cincinnati. He joined the CPCC staff team in 2023 to serve with both the CP Kids and CP Students teams. He loves that playing and worshiping with the Student Worship Team allows him a front row seat to watch God move through young people. Riley grew up in church, where under his dad’s leadership as the Children’s Church Leader, he accepted Christ as a young child. He grew up serving the local church in many different capacities. His favorite and primary way of serving has been in worship and tech teams. He loves to be out in nature, particularly hiking, and watching football with his family. Riley is looking forward to seeing what God will continue to do through him in this new role at Center Pointe.

Phil Hamilton

Family Ministry Admin

Phil was born in Cleveland and raised in Cincinnati, so he is one of those individuals straddling the Browns and Bengals fandom. Phil received a Bachelor of Arts from Bowling Green State University and works in the video transfer business. He has been married to his wife Chris since 1997 and together they have two young adult daughters, Gabby and Ally. He and his family have been attending CPCC since 2003. Phil describes his faith  journey as a winding road but he finally got there and was baptized by Shawn Spradling in October 2011.  Phil faithfully served as a Large Group Leader in CP Kids for nine years before joining the staff team! 

Phil’s favorite thing to do with his sweet family is to simply be together and laugh. They also like to see live music as a family. Phil also enjoys cooking and sports. His favorite part of his role as the CP Kid Admin is seeing God work through everyone involved at Center Pointe.
