Welcome to Christ Church

Christ Church, in the Episcopal Diocese of Northwestern Pennsylvania, is a friendly parish community which has a lively interest in the world beyond its "red doors" and in the ministry of hospitality and inclusivity at its heart:

"The mission of Christ Church is to be one family in Christ, using our gifts and resources to respond in God's love to the spiritual, social, and human needs of our parish, our community, and the world."

--Adopted by the Vestry of Christ Church on January 17, 2006

We come together with familiar and new faces in fellowship, through joy and sorrow and all the movements we encounter in life, as we seek and know God through silence, music, recitation of scripture, the inspiration of the prophets and the apostles, and the life of Jesus Christ. All are invited to join us. Wherever you are on your journey of faith, know that you are welcome here.

We also come together at other times and places to sustain and empower the community in which we live through our outreach ministries. Prayer sharpens our awareness of the suffering around us, especially among the most vulnerable, and faith strengthens our resolve to confront it with justice and mercy. Whatever your gifts, we encourage you to share them.

As part of our mission we feel that we are called to bring good news to all who struggle with the basic needs of life in body, mind and spirit, ourselves included, and to be present and open to those in need of healing, hope, or hospitality. Whoever you are, we invite you to bless us and those we serve with your presence.
