Our Vision
Christ Church is committed to building up God’s people in their faith and building in others from the wider community. Working with church leaders and members, we aim to develop a church community that is:
- Welcoming—it welcomes those who do not believe, or don’t know what they believe;
- Maturing—people become more excited and committed in their faith as they grow in their knowledge and understanding of God;
- Genuine—deep friendships are developed among people who would not otherwise have met or got along with one another;
- Serving—gifts and resources are used to assist the needs of others, especially the poor and the helpless;
- Re-vitalizing—individual members are motivated, trained and equipped to engage with New York City as ‘salt and light’.
Our Mission
To glorify God by introducing men and women to Jesus Christ as the Lord and Savior. To develop a church that is Christ-centered and Scripture-based. To encourage, train and equip one another to follow Jesus Christ. God’s Word is the key to ministry. Lives are transformed and disciples for Christ are made when the Word is prayerfully read, taught and lived out through the power of God’s Spirit.
Our Values
Christ Church is an independent church in the evangelical anglican tradition. Anglicanism, one of the largest associations of Christian churches in the world, has its heritage in the Church of England. Features of this heritage include being:
- Biblical—it holds to the unique authority of the Bible
- Creedal—it upholds the teachings of the classic Christian creeds
- Confessional—it subscribes to The Thirty-Nine Articles of the Anglican Church
- Liturgical—it uses forms of service that are consistent with the teaching and practice of the Anglican Book of Common Prayer.

Our Method
Christ Church’s method is to explain the plain message of God’s Word, the Bible, so that men and women feel its impact. We do this more formally on Sundays in the context of our public gathering; we do it less formally in small groups or individual discussion. The Sunday public gatherings use forms of service that reflect the rich heritage of the Anglican Book of Common Prayer.
