About Us
A Church With Purpose
Before we get to know you, we hope you will take some time to get to know us. Our church was founded with the goal of reaching those who don’t know Jesus and disciplining, teaching those who do. We welcome anyone who wants to learn more about the Gospel, the life of Christ, the church, the sacraments, or those who want to walk out an ancient faith for a modern world. Please come as you are and let God meet you wherever you are in life.
Join Us this Sunday at 10:00 AM

We gather each week to worship God, read from His Word, and take Holy Communion together. Our services are traditional and liturgical. These services are a time of personal and collective prayer, fellowship with others, and encouragement for the week ahead. We hope you’ll join us!
Below you’ll find brief bios for our clergy and other members of our church leadership team. If you have any questions about our church or your walk of faith, feel free to ask, and any of them will be happy to answer your questions.
We hope you feel right at home here at Christ Church. We’re not just a group of people who love God, and that gather together every Sunday. We’re a family. And we’re here to serve you, so don’t be afraid to reach out with any questions. Welcome to our church.
