About Us If you are looking for a community which will enable you to go deeper in your faith ― or you want to explore even the possibility of faith ― Christ Episcopal Church is the place for you. Whether you are visiting, moving to this area or already live here, we invite you to join us for worship. We consider ourselves a "bridging"
church -- one that bridges various cultures, worship styles and approaches to
spirituality. We focus on providing strong education programs for all of our members,
joyful worship and serving others through ministries in the Twin Cities and
around the world. We feel God calls us to minister in our parish, our community
and around the world. We are actually one of the oldest churches in Minnesota! We started in St. Paul in 1850 (with $600 of funds raised in Minnesota and a gift from Christ Church in Philadelphia), and had two other sites in St. Paul before moving to Woodbury in the 1970s. (This is a picture of acolytes at Christ Church in 1930, used with permission of the Minnesota Historical Society -- which has many other pictures of Christ Church throughout the years!) We are proud to be one of the earliest Episcopal churches in Minnesota! We are led by a vestry made up of officers and elected members. We are part of the national Episcopal Church, as well as our statewide Episcopal Church (called our "diocese.") The Episcopal Church is part of the worldwide Anglican Communion. If you'd like a great explanation of what the Episcopal Church stands for, check out this outstanding site from a church in Texas, or check out an ad that the national church recently placed in the New York Times. We welcome everyone to join us! Our community (from the City of Woodbury pages) |
