Our Hope for Years to Come: A Comprehensive Campaign
for God's Work at Christ Church
During 2025, we worked to develop a comprehensive campaign plan for our ministries and beloved campus that will meet the needs of our growing, thriving parish and serve the Christ Church community for generations to come. At the core of this plan, "Our Hope for Years to Come: A Comprehensive Campaign for God's Work at Christ Church," is ministry – to serve, to welcome, to include, and to grow with our hearts and minds always focused on God.
In early 2026, we held two campaign forums and distributed our feasibility case statement. The enthusiastic response at these forums - along with numerous churchyard conversations - richly influenced the final draft of our case statement. We are grateful! Coming next is your chance to share your important insights on our ministry and future. Your participation is vital! Your insights on our ministry and future are essential. The work we do today is necessary for now, and it will prepare this congregation and campus for a new time and new generations at Christ Church.
Thank you for giving your time to help us discern the best next steps for Christ Church! We are excited to do this work with you.

A Message From the Rector
Four Buildings | Four Centuries
Christ Church is more than 250 years old, but a careful reading of the timeline shows that our four buildings touch four centuries. They house deep and meaningful worship, intense pastoral conversations, recovery meetings, food pantries, Christian formation, choir practices, receptions, community events, concerts, weddings, funerals, candlelit services, Christmas pageants (and the star!), baptisms, confirmations, and so much more.
Today our campus – with hearty buildings entrusted to us by generations past and maintained with thoughtful care – is in real need of long-term, smart improvements for a new time and new generations at Christ Church.

At the core of this work is ministry – to serve, to welcome, to include, and to grow with our hearts and minds always focused on God. The next step in this exciting work is to embark on a comprehensive campaign.
