Our Mission
Christ Church, Georgetown, is an inclusive Episcopal community of faith and a living witness to the love of Christ. For more than 200 years we have sought to be a sanctuary from an often-chaotic and divided world, a place where politics are left at the door.
Here, all can participate in traditional, reverent worship and lifelong Christian formation while building meaningful connections with others and serving those in need.
Parishioners, inspired by the Gospel and the worship of the Church, are encouraged to act in the world as they feel called, embraced by a fellowship that respects their views, as well as those of people who see things differently.
Our Values
Service/Servant-Leadership
Click HereOur Lord Jesus Christ set the disciples an example of service and servant leadership when he washed their feet at the Last Supper. We seek to serve Christ in other, both individually, and as a church.
To see our framwork for Christian leadership at Christ Church:
Compassion
Our Lord Jesus Christ had compassion on the crowds, the sick and all who came to him in hope. We seek to be a spiritual field hospital, where all who are hurt or broken by life may find compassion, healing and renewed strength.
Inclusivity
Our Lord Jesus Christ welcomed all who turned to him in faith. All are welcome at Christ Church regardless of race, sexuality, politics or any of the myriad of other ways that human beings are different from one another. Here we all kneel at the same altar and seek the same forgiveness and grace.
Stewardship
Our Lord Jesus Christ was God’s gift of life to the world. Our own gifts, be they, intellectual, physical, or by virtue of our birth, all come from God. We are only stewards of the fruits of these things. We seek to live grateful lives using our time, talents and treasure for the cause of Christ in this place and to help the poor and broken, who are near and dear to the heart of God.
