Alice’s Story

The church itself feels like home — that’s why I come here. The community is an eclectic group. The people here are very nice and very friendly, and I hear that all the time when new people come, that they feel welcome, and they feel included. Chip is a nice person and a character, and I enjoy his company. I help with the Garden Party almost every year. The garden is used for church events, but it’s also a place…

I would begin to describe Christ Church as a place where one could come and feel accepted, regardless of where one was coming from.

Father Chip is a wonderful person. He’s so kind and so mindful of everyone around him and considerate and just an amazing man. We felt so welcome, and…

Well, I’m a member of the vestry. I’ve been a member for three years.

There’s something really special about Christ Episcopal. There’s an openness, there’s an acceptance. I myself come from a very diverse background.

Cindy’s Story

I enjoy coming to Christ Church because it’s a welcoming, friendly, predictable place. Over the years, I’ve gotten to know many of the people well, and it seems like another family. Father Chip is a warm and inspirational speaker, a very bright guy. I enjoy his sermons; they’re intellectually interesting and emotionally comforting in a lot of ways. Father Malcolm is a distinguished, intellectually sharp man who speaks very profoundly and also with a sense of humor about things that…

David’s Story

Christ Episcopal Church is important in our lives because of how we felt that it really supported our family and our marriage in a very positive way, and the warm acceptance — that family feeling — just that sense of belonging and comfort that we feel that we first felt when we came here in the early 1970s. Father Chip is a warm and accepting person. I think he’s really connected with the community in a very significant way —…

I come here because I really like the people. It’s a very kind and caring community where everybody feels welcome. I also am involved in the church choir. It’s something I enjoy doing.

The Christ Church is sort of my family, certainly a spiritual family. I participate in a lot of the events, and I’m sort of the altar guild person here also. Father Chip is a wonderful minister. He has made some absolutely fabulous changes. I really enjoy working with him. I just hope that people who do come here feel welcome to come back, because that’s what’s important.

Well, Christ Church is really another home for me. When I arrive at the church, I feel a deep sense of peace.

I also love the ritual of the liturgy, and I love the fact that our community is so focused on social justice issues, as well. And of…

Julian’s Story

I do like going here. It makes me feel good about myself, and it makes me feel accomplished. It kind of makes me reflect on the past week because we usually come on Sundays, and it always makes me appreciate what I have. My mom usually volunteers us for the plays every Christmas. We go almost every Sunday and always on special events like Christmas, Easter. Father Chip is a very loving and friendly person. He’s really nice, and he’s…
