parish networks - families

Families are an important part of the fabric of Christ Church. Our family ministries are designed to meet the many diverse needs of today’s busy families—from families with two working parents and young children, to those with a stay-at-home parent or those facing the challenges of parenting growing teens.  

Family Connections - A ministry to families with children at home, the Christ Episcopal Church Family Connections ministry holds monthly events, alternating between events for “parents only” and ones that include children. The goal of Christ Episcopal Church Family Connections is to strengthen the bond among families within the Church. Family Connections welcomes a diverse group of families and parents—married or single, with children of all ages at home—to share in our goal of bringing people together in faith and fun. We recognize that all families with children at home struggle to balance the demands of work and home, and still make time for faith, recreation, and everything else of importance to us. We especially welcome parents who may not normally participate in church activities, that they may see and appreciate the value of spending time with other families in similar life stages.

Nursery for Family Connections - In support of the Family Connections mission, Christ Episcopal Church will make the nursery available for all “parents only” events. Use of the nursery requires advance registration, and a donation of $15.00 per family is requested. Because many of our events are during the dinner hour, we also recommend a $5 contribution per family for pizza if your children will be using the nursery.
