Christ Episcopal Church
First, all of our beliefs are founded upon faith in Jesus Christ. While we are a community of faith that finds its source in the Holy Scriptures and the traditions of the church, we also highly value human reason. We hold fast to a few simple truths: God made us. God loves us. Jesus was the fulfillment and perfect embodiment of that love. God wants us to love everyone else in the same way. And in the end, in Christ, all will be well. Worship experience At Christ Church our worship seeks to adore the living God with classical liturgies that are beautiful, sacred, and traditional - modeled after the worship forms of the earliest Christians. While our worship is classical, it is not formal – come as you are and enter into the beauty of holiness. We are Gospel-inspired and Eucharist-centered, but also enjoy Morning Prayer. We share our Anglican heritage with seasonal Choral Evensong services when additional voices from our community join our choir to present very moving beautiful settings of psalms, anthems, and hymns as an outreach to our neighboring churches and community. We have a weekday morning service of Holy Eucharist and healing prayers with a homily on the saints of the Church. Special services have included the Crèche service for children and families near Christmas, Stations of the Cross, Tenebrae, and Festive Choral Eucharist on high holy days. Our services are reverent, but welcoming and friendly with a bulletin designed to help visitors follow the form of the service. Whoever you are, wherever you are on your faith journey, you are welcomed here!
