Worship is at the heart of our life together at Christ Church. Our Sunday service is a celebration of the Eucharist, or Holy Communion, and you’ll find that our worship is both beautiful and participatory. You’ll Be Invited to Participate Our worship follows a pattern called a liturgy, which simply means “the work of the people.” You’ll have opportunities to sing, pray, say the Creed, hear Scripture, and respond throughout the service. Don’t worry if you’re not sure what to do. Simply watch those around you and follow along. We Celebrate Holy Communion The Eucharist, or Holy Communion, is the central part of our Sunday worship. Any baptized Christian, whether a member of Christ Church or another church, is welcome to receive Communion. If you are not baptized or are not yet ready to receive Communion, you are welcome to come forward and receive a prayer of blessing instead. We Worship with the Book of Common Prayer Our worship is guided by the Book of Common Prayer, which provides the prayers and order of worship used throughout the Anglican tradition. You’ll also find a songbook for congregational singing. A Few Things to Know When you arrive:
Most importantly, don't worry about getting everything right. Worship is a journey. Listen, sing, pray, and participate as you are comfortable. Over time, the words, music, prayers, and rhythms of worship will become familiar and, we hope, will draw you closer to Christ. how do i become a member of cca?
We rejoice that you are exploring opportunities for Christian growth with us. Making a beginning at Christ Church Anglican does not necessarily involve a membership commitment. We want Christ Church Anglican to be a safe place for people to explore what is truly involved in a Christian commitment before making one. However, if that commitment is something you are ready to register, then you may be guided by the following information. Baptized Membership Adults not already baptized may join our church by making a profession of faith in Jesus Christ, followed by Baptism. "One Lord, one faith, one Baptism." (Ephesians 4:4). Christ Church Anglican does not "rebaptize." If you have already been baptized with water in the name of the Trinity, you may join by having a record of baptism sent from your former Christian church, regardless of denomination. Confirmed Membership Confirmation is actually the completion of the original baptismal rite as practiced by the early Church. The earliest Christians formalized their complete entry into the fellowship, mission, and ministry of the Church by being baptized with water, then being sealed as Christ's own with the mark of the Cross made with oil upon their foreheads, and, finally, coming under the hands of an Apostle, or later a Bishop in the line of Apostolic succession, who prayed for them to receive the power of the Holy Spirit for the ministry of their life in the world. To become a confirmed member one attends the series of Adult Discipleship classes that precedes the Bishop's annual visitation in May/June. do i need to be anglican to attend?
Christ Church welcomes everyone. Whether you grew up Anglican, have never been to an Anglican church, or are simply looking for a church home, you are welcome to worship with us. Come as you are, ask questions, and take your time getting to know our church family. Where do I park and enter?
We worship at Jennie Moore Elementary School, which has two entrances to the property and two parking areas. When you arrive, look for our yellow Christ Church signage and welcome team outside. If you are facing the front of the school, our entrance is on the left, near the cafeteria. Our volunteers will be there to welcome you and help point you in the right direction. Don’t worry if it’s your first time. We’ll be looking for you! what should i wear?
There’s no dress code at Christ Church, but you’ll find that most people dress somewhere between business casual and Sunday best. You’ll see dresses, skirts, slacks, button-down shirts, and jackets. Come dressed in whatever makes you feel comfortable and ready to worship. Can i receive communion?
The Eucharist, or Holy Communion, is the central part of our Sunday worship. Any baptized Christian, whether a member of Christ Church or another church, is welcome to receive Communion. If you are not baptized or are not yet ready to receive Communion, you are welcome to come forward and receive a prayer of blessing instead by crossing your arms over your chest.
