Hello!

Thank you for visiting our website. The pages of this website are intended to give you a taste of life at Christ Church as we seek and serve Christ in the city of Springfield, Ohio.

The members of Christ Church come from many denominations, backgrounds and lifestyles, yet all have found it a place to call home. We hope you too will find it to be a loving community.

I was asked for a word or phrase that describes Christ Church. There are so many, it was hard to choose just one. “Strong outreach”, “wonderful music” and “active youth” all came to mind, but the one I chose was “lay leadership”. The ministries of Christ Church are as rich and varied as the members themselves, ranging from housing the homeless and feeding the hungry, tutoring young people, inviting the community to glorious concerts, nourishing souls with rich worship and educational opportunities.

When I arrived here I was amazed at all that is accomplished here. Now, I'm still amazed, humbled and deeply grateful. Christ Church is a place that takes the ministry of all baptized persons seriously, and by doing so, we are able to do incredible things to serve God in this place.

While our website will give you a glimpse of life at Christ Church, we invite you to join us for Sunday worship to experience our life together first hand, and to become involved in any of our ministries to which you feel called. You are invited to become a part of this continuing story we call the Episcopal Church. If I can answer any questions or provide further information about Christ Church, please send me an email.

Please be sure to take advantage of all this site has to offer and create an account.

Please contact the  if you have any questions.

Faithfully.
