Transforming the Parish Hall

The THIRD CENTURY CAMPAIGN will enable Christ Church to transform and restore the Parish Hall from a much underused space into an engine for outreach, Parish growth, fellowship, and service to the community. This transformation will put this outstanding building - a distinctive space in Georgetown - to work for the Parish, the community, and those in need whom we seek to serve in Christ’s name. It will:

  • Make the space ADA and building code compliant and accessible, including an elevator, security systems, and updated infrastructure.
  • More than double the capacity of our feeding and shelter ministries that support those in need in Georgetown and beyond.
  • Host community groups and events, lectures, concerts and Parish gatherings on a scale not currently possible.
  • Provide a space that could be used by the Parish and the local community throughout the week.


Installing a new organ 


Liturgical music holds a special place in the life of Christ Church, and the existing organ, which has served the congregation well, is approaching the end of its useful life. The plan is to install a new, state-of-the-art instrument and sound system, designed specifically for our worship space, that will enable us to maintain and, indeed, elevate the Parish’s exceptionally high liturgical and musical standards.


In addition to accompanying the Choir, an organ must adequately support the congregation as well as various parts of the liturgy. The new organ will be built with these requirements in mind, and will also include the installation of an antiphonal division in the rear of the nave. With all its many features, this new organ will support the liturgical and musical needs of the Parish for decades to come.

 


New Endowment Funds


Through the Third Century Campaign, Christ Church will establish two endowment funds, each designated to support specific purposes.


Mission & Outreach Fund - The Parish currently contributes nearly $140,000 each year to support nonprofit partners who serve the homeless, the underserved and vulnerable, at home and in communities across the world. Once fully funded, this new fund will provide a dedicated resource for our mission and outreach efforts, enabling the Parish to double its contributions each year.


Capital Repair Fund - Christ Church understands its obligation to care for its properties as an act of stewardship for those who will come after us. A new fund, designated specifically for capital maintenance, will significantly increase the resources available to support the ongoing repair and upkeep of our physical plant, ensuring that the operating budget remains focused on the mission and ministry of the Parish.
