Who We Are

Get to Know Us

History

Planted in 1984, Christ Church has a strong heritage of in-depth expository preaching, inter-generational community life, thoughtful worship, and engagement with local and international mission. While our city and congregation have changed since the 1980’s, our commitment to these values has not.

In his grace, God has rewarded our sacrifices at Christ Church to start new churches, sending many new families and young children into our midst. We are excited by the good work God is doing among us, renewing us in our worship, obedience to him, and mission to our city. The rich traditions established over thirty years ago continue to provide a wonderful home we call Christ Church today.

Values

We aren’t into scorekeeping, earning points, or balancing the books with God. Grace liberates by putting us into right relationship with God because of what Jesus has done for us, not what we do for him. Our security lies in the status God gives us in his Son, not a status we gain through our performance
God loves us the way we are, but too much to leave us that way. Grace not only puts us into right relationship with God, but also frees us from sin’s control, giving us real hope for real change. Alive in Christ, the Spirit doesn’t settle for cosmetic change, but renews us inside and out.
Everyone worships something, seeking to satisfy the deepest longings of the heart. Unfortunately, the things we serve, like money, relationships, or appearance, don’t deliver. In Christ, God captures our wayward hearts and satisfies them in himself. We gather weekly to re-direct our desires as we commune with God together.
God made us, not only for himself, but also for each other. We accept one another, ignoring common boundaries like race, age, or class, because God has accepted us in Christ. Within this community, Jesus turns selfish, isolated individuals into a family that seeks to love one another, share life together, and embody God’s kingdom.
God loves our city. Given this, we move towards our neighbor in sacrificial love, denying the fear, arrogance, and indifference that keep us at a safe distance. We seek to proclaim his love, in word and deed, by caring for the vulnerable, serving others in our vocations, and planting neighborhood churches for the renewal of our city and world.
The church is not a passive crowd of consumers but an active body of servants. We seek to equip our members, uniquely gifted by God, to serve in our church, at home, and in the workplace. By equipping God’s servants, we multiply the gospel’s impact in our city and around the world.
We cannot do this alone. Our commitment to the renewal of all things requires strategic partnerships that extend our reach into the world’s many broken places. We labor alongside others in joyful expectation of the coming kingdom of God
