Become a member
We invite you to worship with us, learn about our life in Jesus Christ and consider this congregation for your church home. New members are received several times a year, after an orientation. Please speak to one of the pastors about membership. Our staff is available to answer your questions as they arise.
Christ Church is an active community of faith in Jesus Christ. Grounded in Holy Baptism, we worship and serve God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Our life and ministry center in the weekly liturgy of Word and Sacrament. We hold our historic past with affection and face the future with joyful confidence and hope.
