Welcome
Since 1825, Christ Episcopal Church has never lost sight of its primary function which is to go out into the world making disciples of Jesus Christ, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19) We believe that the Holy Bible is the Word of God and we strive to live out its precepts in every aspect of church life and ministry. Imagine a strong rope with the Holy Bible as the center strand that wraps around and through the strands often called reason, tradition and experience.
This strong rope is a image that guides our church’s desire to help those in need through mission and outreach. In the gospel accounts of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, Jesus calls us to pay particular attention to the poor and needy in our midst. Christ Episcopal Church has a long history of showing the love of Jesus Christ by serving “the least of these” in our community.
Christ Episcopal Church continues to be a beacon for the proclamation of the Good News of Jesus Christ, and for living into the words of the Lord’s Prayer (thy kingdom come, on earth, as it is in heaven), which undergirds the manner by which we share this Good News by a continuous focus on the needs of those outside her beautiful stained glass windows and her open doors.
