Living

Faith

We gather for worship, prayer, and Christian formation as we seek to deepen our relationship with God and grow as disciples of Jesus Christ.

Growing Community

Christ Episcopal Church is a place where relationships matter. Through fellowship, shared learning, and pastoral care, we nurture and encourage a community where people support one another

and walk together through all the seasons of life. 

Serving Others

Our faith calls us beyond our campus. Through outreach ministries and volunteer efforts,

we work together to care for our neighbors and share Christ’s love

in tangible ways.


At Christ Episcopal Church we help people achieve meaning, fulfillment and joy through good works

in service to God, each other, and our surrounding community.

These commitments shape everything we do.

Our Episcopal Tradition

Christ Episcopal Church is part of the Diocese of Virginia and is a member of the worldwide Anglican Communion. Our tradition values scripture, thoughtful reflection, and worship that connects us with Christians across generations.


Episcopal worship follows the historic patterns of Christian prayer found in the Book of Common Prayer. Our services bring together scripture, prayer, music, and Holy Communion in a way that is both rooted in tradition and meaningful for today.


We seek to live our faith with humility, compassion, and respect for the dignity of every person. Questions are welcome; we believe that faith grows through learning, conversation, and shared experience as well as through prayer.


Whoever you are and wherever you are on your faith journey, you are welcome at Christ Episcopal Church.


Our Ministries And Outreach

At Christ Epsicopal Church, faith is lived through service. Members of our parish actively participate in ministries that care for both our church family and the wider community. These ministries are sustained by volunteers who generously share their time and gifts in service to others.


You can learn more about these and many other opportunities to get involved with

fellowship, outreach, and service on our Ministries page.
