Welcome to Christ Episcopal Church
Valdosta, Georgia

A LETTER FROM OUR RECTOR

Welcome and thank you for visiting our website.

One of the nicest things people say when visiting Christ Church is “that it feels like a holy and fun place.” I understand that to mean the people visiting with us recognize us as a healthy, joyful, and growing family of Christians in the Episcopal tradition. That is who we are, with God’s help. The following pages will give you a taste of our lives together.

We are called to ministry in the name of the risen Jesus. At Christ Church you are invited to find your place in our many ministries. As Episcopalians, we believe we are called to gather as a faith community to worship, learn about the Bible, and to receive the sacraments. Yet, we are also called to gather beyond Sunday mornings. We are called to gather in ministry, outreach and in prayer.

At Christ Church, we believe we are called to learn. We are called to learn the language of the bible, the liturgy—how we worship, traditions of the church-and Christ church-and reason; some say common sense or experience. We are a safe place to discern God’s will and where challenging questions can be explored.

As Episcopalians, we believe we are named to invest in ministry because each of us has a talent or skill we can put to good use. We invite you to join us in finding our places at the table where our time, talent and resources serve to further God’s realm within our families, our neighborhood, and our niche of the world.

We believe we are called to give our faith away by word and deed. We are called to be evangelists, to share the story of how Jesus makes a difference in our lives. We are Jesus’ voice, hands, and feet in the world.

Whatever your interest, we believe and hope you will find our website helpful in discerning Jesus’ call to you. You will find meaningful and energetic ministries for all ages, elders, grownups—mostly, college students, teens, elementary school students and younger. We are especially proud of our use of the Godly Play curriculum. We would love for you to check us out and for you to become a part of our family. If you are not fed where you worship, breaking bread with us is where you should be.

Grace and peace,

Hal; Pastor and Priest
