About Christ Church

Who are we?

At Christ Church, we share a common thread: we are all pilgrims, traveling together on a great spiritual journey. In a world full of tremendous challenges, we come here to strengthen our commitment as followers of Jesus Christ. We seek to follow Jesus Christ out of a deep sense of gratitude for all that God has done for us - and we believe that God has more great things in store for us.

While we are deeply connected as the Body of Christ, we are also very diverse. We are young, old, faithful, doubting, married, single, gay, straight, rich, poor, liberal, conservative and more. In this community, we endeavor to offer the loving embrace of Jesus Christ to all who come here.

What do we believe?

We believe that the mystery and breadth of God's creative love takes a lifetime to understand. We see God revealed uniquely in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. We feel the warmth of the Holy Spirit, enabling us to experience God's grace in our lives.

We understand the Bible to be the Word of God, revealing to us the sacred stories of God's saving purposes for humanity from the moment of creation until the end of time. As part of the Episcopal Church and the Anglican tradition, we treasure our heritage of two thousand years of Christian tradition. At the same time, we believe that God's Holy Spirit is alive in the church today, inspiring us to live the Gospel faithfully for this time and this place.

We honor and accept ancient creeds, liturgies, and writings of the church. While the essentials of the faith are the heart of our proclamation, we are very diverse in our application of the Christian faith. For us, the search for meaning is essential. In other words, we value questions just as we value answers.

How do we worship?

Each Sunday, we celebrate the Lord's Day by gathering for prayer, praise, and instruction. We share together in the Holy Eucharist (sometimes called "the mass"). In this sacrament, we receive the Body of Christ, and we also become the Body of Christ.

We are varied in our worship. Our 8:00 service is quiet and serene. Our 10:00 service is a lively service - with joyful music and the sounds of children. All of our services include Holy Communion, prayers and preaching. During the summer months (June, July, & August) we have one service at 9:00am.
