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.

New Beginnings: February 2024

Brendan Murphy on January 30, 2024

Lent always seems to get a bad rap. Ashes, fasts, sin, and sadness, right? Lent really is about new beginnings and our journey towards resurrection on Easter. What better time to start our new journey together at Christ Church! Lent comes from the Old English word for “Spring”. It is a time for us to go back to the basics of what it means to be a follower of Jesus through a time of prayer, simplicity, and generosity. This Lent, I hope it is also a time for us to learn about each other. I hope this also can be a time of Holy Listening, where we can share our stories and our faith and create something new. I am eager to get to know you and my new community. I want to spend time to know your joys, fears, and hopes for the future in your lives and at Christ Church. There will be a variety of times in the coming weeks to get together both formally and informally in times of prayer and times of fun. I invite you to take time to create a Holy Lent of new beginnings and new hope.
