Christ Church Pace
I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die.
– John 11:25-26
About Christ Church
We are committed to Biblical teaching, liturgical worship, and joyful hospitality.
Biblical Teaching
The Scriptures are our life. We are committed to teaching them in their entirety.
Liturgical Worship
When we come to Mount Zion, the heavenly Jerusalem, God blesses us, then sends us out to bless the world.
Joyful Hospitality
Having freely received the Father’s hospitality in Communion, we freely share it with others.
Ecclesia – assembly of “called out ones”
Having been joined to Christ’s body, we extend
the gospel of His love to others in fellowship and service.
Sunday Meals
We eat meals as a Church every week. On the first Sunday of the month, we break bread in one another’s homes. On all other Sundays, we eat a meal at Church after worship.
Psalm Sings
Psalms and hymns are essential to our worship of God and our love of one another. We meet once a month in homes to sing and to share a meal and good company.
Service
Love and sacrificial service must flow from us because Christ dwells within us. The service of widows, mothers, and the poor are high priorities for our Lord, so they are for us as well.
Christ Church is a member of Athanasius Presbytery the CREC
and supports the work of Theopolis Institute.
