Christ Church Parish is a welcoming community of loving Christians exploring our faith, serving others, and growing in God's love.
Stewards of a jewel of a country church, we welcome and provide a safe haven to all people, whether they have been here for a day or for many decades. We are an inclusive, embracing, and growing congregation that worships in the Episcopal/Anglican tradition.
Come join us for prayer and worship, for fun, for terrific kids’ programs, for diverse opportunities to serve others, and for so much more. And feel the joy of belonging to a loving and evolving Christian community.
We wish you many blessings and hope to see you and yours soon. And may the peace of Christ, which passes all understanding, remain with you always.
