Welcome

Since our beginning in 1820 as Charlottesville’s first church, Christ Episcopal Church has proclaimed the good news of Jesus Christ.  Each week we hope to communicate the love of God summarized so powerfully by St. Paul in his letter to the Romans: “while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” This gospel message is for one and all and is the foundation of our life at Christ Church.

Because of His love for us in Jesus Christ, we know that God ALWAYS cares. God is always ready to listen. God wants you to tell Him everything – no detail is too small. As we read in 1 Peter, God asks that we cast our cares on Him, because He cares for us.

Yet, sometimes, it is helpful to have someone else on whom to cast your cares. To be known and to be loved by another person brings help, hope and healing into the worst situations.

Please know that we at Christ Church stand ready to listen to you and pray for you. When you have cares that need casting, please let us know. We are here for you.

Ever Yours,

Paul

• "Of the Father's Love Begotten"

  He is found in human fashion, Death and sorrow here to know, That the race of Adam's children Doomed by law to endless woe, May not henceforth die and perish In the dreadful gulf below, Evermore and evermore! O that birth forever blessed, When the Virgin, full of grace, By the Holy Ghost conceiving, Bare the Savior of our race; And the Babe, the world's Redeemer, First revealed His sacred face, Evermore and evermore!
