Children and their families are central to the ministry of Christ Church.  Children are always welcome in worship.  In the cry of a baby, or the fussiness of a toddler, we hear a new voice that speaks to god, reminding us that children are a blessing and a joy.  A nursery staffed with a caring member of this congregation is also available for children five-years old and younger.

The Pastor's Discretionary Fund is low on money to help those in need in our community.  If you are able to help, please make your check payable to the Discretionary Fund.
