WHO IS CHRIST CHURCH?
A church is not a building, it is a community. For 190 years, a community of people have gathered together under the name Christ Church Parish. Or to put it another way, Christ Church is a group of people doing something old in new and exciting ways. No matter who you are, what you believe, or what you have been through, you are invited to be a part of this community.
In our community, all are welcome. Your life can be a mess (if you feel that you are not perfect, you will fit right in. Neither are we). You can have questions and doubts (we believe in the importance of reason and the intellectual questioning of our faith). You simply have to want to know more about the love of God and be willing to follow Jesus.

WHAT DO WE BELIEVE?
Christ Church is a group of people seeking God and figuring out what it means to love the world. We believe that God is real, that God loves us, and that God has called us to work in His name.
As Episcopalians, we are very different people with different opinions and insights, but we share a common faith that God is working in our lives and in the world. We share a common Creed that has been handed down for 2000 years.

Daughters of the King
Daughters of the King are women and girls between the ages of seven and one hundred and seven who desire a closer walk with the Lord. We are Christian women, both lay and ordained, who are strengthened through the discipline of a Rule of Life and supported through the companionship of our sisters. We are all at different stages of our Christian journey – some have just begun and some have been on this path for a long time. But no matter where we are on our sacred journeys, our primary goal is the same – to know Jesus Christ and to make Him known to others.
