Since 1825, Christ Episcopal Church has never lost sight of its primary function which is to go out into the world making disciples of Jesus Christ, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19) We believe that the Holy Bible is the Word of God and we strive to live out its precepts in every aspect of church life and ministry. Imagine a strong rope with the Holy Bible as the center strand that wraps around and through the strands often called reason, tradition and experience.
This strong rope is a image that guides our church’s desire to help those in need through mission and outreach. In the gospel accounts of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, Jesus calls us to pay particular attention to the poor and needy in our midst. Christ Episcopal Church has a long history of showing the love of Jesus Christ by serving “the least of these” in our community.
Christ Episcopal Church continues to be a beacon for the proclamation of the Good News of Jesus Christ, and for living into the words of the Lord’s Prayer (thy kingdom come, on earth, as it is in heaven), which undergirds the manner by which we share this Good News by a continuous focus on the needs of those outside her beautiful stained glass windows and her open doors.

Many of you know that Sheri Allan has attempted to work part-time in order to care for her own family and Christ Church. As she and I explored the demands placed on the Parish Administrator by doing a form and function review we learned much. We attempted to place some of her work in other hands but even that was not sufficient to give Sheri the confidence that she could serve Christ Church with the same skill and determination as the needs of her family became primary. However, Sheri being Sheri will not let Christ Church suffer as we work through a transition. This is the first posting of the job description for the Parish Administrator position. Sheri will continue to care for Christ Church and be available to the new hire .
