News & Updates for Christ Church Episcopal
Double your impact! New donations to the Vision Fund will be matched, up to $10,000!
Give between now and June 17
These are exciting times at Christ Church and the wonders keep on happening! The success of the first phase of the Vision Fund resulted in welcoming Associate Rector Rev. Richard Pelkey to our family and calling Assistant Rector, Darren Steadman, who will be joining us next month.

There is still work to be done to support current and new ministries, as well as sustain our Vision plan well into the future.

Any new gift to the Vision Fund received by June 17 will be matched, dollar for dollar, up to $10,000! This challenge gift has been made possible by an anonymous Christ Church member.

Your generosity will be part of the collective effort of Christ Church to serve others, change the way we think & act, and build community together.
