Football

The Football program was started in 2003 under the guidance of Ron Yocum. After 3 years, Coach Yocum retired, paving the way for Dan Holden. Coach Holden was a one-time head coach and WIAA State Champion with Newport High School in Washington. As of March 2008, Cedar Park Christian School qualified for the WIAA state playoffs.

The team hired Craig Shetterly and named him head coach. Coach Shetterly had formerly served two years as Assistant Head Coach/Defensive Coordinator with the Mt. Vernon Bulldogs, and joined the Cedar Park coaching staff fresh out of a winning record (6-5) with the Bulldogs. In his first year with the Eagles, the football squad finished with a 1-8 record.

Changes were made the following year when Coach Shetterly made several modifications to the offensive system of the Eagles. Coach Benzel was asked to lead the school's Cross Country program, who were league champions in 2009 under his coaching. The team hired Chip Glass, a former NFL player, as an assistant and coach for offensive linemen. In the 2009 season, the Eagles won their first game in week 2, when they beat La Conner, 68-28. The next week, the team beat Darrington High School 16-14, and improved to a 2-1 record.

Basketball

Starting with a freshman class in 2005, CPCS kept a core group of kids together all the way through their senior year where they finished 8th in state, losing to King's. Under the guidance of Lamont Franklin, long time college assistant, the team also made it to state sophomore year and was one game away as juniors.
