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.

Pumpkin Patch 2021 Report

Brendan Murphy on November 23, 2021

We were once again bold and brave. At the request of Pumpkin Patch USA, we accepted delivery of a full truck of pumpkins. That’s over 2,200 pumpkins! Even with the truck arriving on Tuesday the 4^th, we had a hard working crew using wagons and wheelbarrows to empty the truck. Verone’s Auto Shop helped us by pulling off three pallets of pumpkins with their tow truck. And just as everyone was running out of steam, the Ridley High School Cross Country team came running up to help finish the job. We also had neighbors and Boy Scouts lend a hand. Many thanks to one and all who helped with unloading and selling.

We managed to sell all but a dozen or so of the pumpkins giving us record-breaking gross sales of $23,132.00! Our profit is $8,096 with 12% going to buy books for the Kara Barnard Youth Literacy Fund as well as donations to the Cross Country team and the Boy Scout troop.

Our Pumpkin Patch has become an event that the community looks forward to every year. It is a great way to meet and talk with people we might not normally see. We can be proud to be known as the Pumpkin Church!
