All of us in this day and age - regardless of diversity of age, race or culture - need a place of rest and spiritual renewal. We long for times of quiet refreshment, but also for purpose that will give meaning to life's journey and unite us with fellow seekers along the way. St. Christopher's is such a place. Offering the beauty of traditional prayers and liturgy in an architectural space that edifies the eye and soul, worship here seeks to draw us into the mystery of God. Likewise, Christian Education at St. Christopher's for children and adults is meant to strengthen our relationship with God, not simply by supplying the "answers" but by encouraging the questions. In fact, even our coffee hours, shared meals and community services invite us to see in one another the face of God. Come join us at St. Christopher's.
