Welcome to Christ Church!
Walking in the way of Christ, we connect and care for each other, our communities, and the world. Join us in service, in worship, in prayer, and in community.
We worship together every Sunday at 10:00 a.m., with beautiful organ and piano-based music and a mix of classic and modern liturgy. All are invited to share in Holy Communion. Explore this site to find your place at Christ Church. You are welcome here.

Welcome to Christ Church!
- Seeking: Lent at Christ Church
Lent at Christ Church
Join us this Lent as we focus on questions that can open up our thinking and deepen our faith. Through our offerings of morning prayer, Bible study, online prompts, and Sunday and special worship, we hope you will engage in the spiritual practice of seeking. We encourage you to stay curious, open, and nimble. We hope you will soften your assumptions and expand your perspectives. Supported by the thoughtful materials from A Sanctified Art, we pray that these questions will create a safe space to explore your faith and your world.

Lenten Devotional
We have a Lenten devotional booklet available at the church. Please let Pr. Janet know if you would like a copy – we can deliver, mail or email one!
This devotional has an introduction with ideas on how to focus your Lenten devotions each day. It also includes a set of materials for use each week of Lent, and on the special days of the season. Each entry contains a Bible reading reference, a poem, a new hymn for the week set to a familiar tune, a commentary on the readings, and two pieces of art. I encourage you to engage with it each day during Lent.
- Advent and Christmas at Christ Church!
We celebrate a seven week Advent at Christ Church! This gives us all an expanded time of waiting for Christmas and focus on the long-held promise of God’s beautiful vision for the world. Although rooted in ancient tradition, this seven week Advent fits in our modern world – it gives us a more relaxed time of waiting, and allows us to get started on Advent before Christmas has fully saturated our stores and streets.
Below are a summary of all our events this Advent and Christmas.
