Whoever you are, for whatever reason you are wondering about this community and way of faith, we are glad you are here, and we invite you to come and see in-person, or join online.

We encourage you to explore how we carry on meaningful traditions while adapting to this era in life giving ways. We continue, return, proclaim, serve and strive in Christ’s name every day.

We trust that God loves you and all creation – no exceptions.

We know that following Jesus brings both connection and transformation.

We encounter the Holy Spirit who is both demanding and renewing.

We strive together to grow in faithfulness to God’s way of love in this time and place.

Our leadership shows up with their whole hearts! We strive to bring our Christ-centered love to our work, homes, beyond our building, and into our neighborhood.

The way of Jesus is a lifelong friendship of loving-kindness and liberation. We wonder how we can collaborate with you and the Holy Spirit to become compassion, freedom, and mercy for all.

We are glad you are interested in Christ Church and we’d love to get to know you better. Please tell us a little more about yourself.

Holy God who calls the world into being, who calls us into Christ’s church; we thank you for the church that is our heart, for the mission of the church that is our joy, and for the ministry of the church that is our task. We thank you for the generosity of Christ Church, Ridley Park, for its steadfastness over time, for its faithful witness, wholehearted life, and its abundant caring ways. Make us courageous, make us ready, make us open, that we may become a resounding Alleluia through your passion and into your victory. We pray in the name of Jesus crucified and risen, wholehearted Shepherd of the Church. Amen.

Donate to Christ Church in support of the life, ministry, and witness of Jesus Christ. Contribute online to a particular collection or make a one-time donation under “non-pledge”.

Money is a lifeless substance, but without it, life as we know it isn’t possible. It takes funding to offer worship, fellowship, maintain buildings, care for one another. One of the steadfast ways that we offer gratefulness to God is through a pledge commitment.

Sponsor altar flowers to beautify the sanctuary with creations from God. Altar flowers are often shared “in memory of” or “in honor” of someone special and can be displayed the Sunday around a meaningful date. Information of sponsored flowers will be included in the worship bulletin.

Christian Education

Children & Youth

We welcome all families in all their various journeys and hope we can offer a space of faithful intergenerational community. We strive to include young people in the whole life of the church. During the academic year, we offer formation for pre-k to fifth grade children at 10 AM.

Children’s Sunday Sunday School is an interactive approach to explore faith through story using Montessori principles. The curriculum engages what is most exciting about religious education: God inviting us into—and pursuing us in the midst of—Scripture and spiritual experience. Using imagination and play we practice listening for God and to make authentic and creative responses to God’s call in our lives.

All school-age children who can follow instructions are welcome to help in the work of worship through, acolyting and reading the lessons. We encourage households to serve in Sunday leadership together! Youth are welcome to participate in music ministry as part of the choir as well.

Adult

The first active promise of baptism is to continue in the Apostle’s teaching. This acknowledges that our shaping (and re-shaping) as people of God is something we must intentionally attend to regularly and consistently. The faith of the disciples of Jesus isn’t like buying a ring you wear forever – it is more like a bicycle that needs care and maintenance to ride ever-changing paths. Adult Forum meets most Sundays at 9 AM. You do not need to come every Sunday to participate.

Adults seeking formal membership in the Episcopal Church should and ask about the Episcopal Handbook class, which is held when needed.
