Ministries at Christ Church
Our Community
We are a small church, with a big heart for sharing God’s love with our community. To be an effective mission-shaped church that meets people where they are and helps them to grow in their relationships with God, we strive to be creative in our ministry and our outreach.
Ministry Council
The Ministry Council reports to the Vestry. In conjunction with the priest, they are in charge of overseeing the church’s various ministries outside of the service and are in charge of general programming. It is currently chaired by Fr. Bill and meets quarterly on Sundays after the 10am service.
OUR MINISTRIES
Hospitality Ministry – Our Hospitality "Ministry" is really anyone who attends an event. All are invited to bring a side dish, salad, or dessert to celebrations outside of Sunday fellowship. Events range from graduation celebrations and picnics to Shrove Tuesday and Maundy Thursday suppers. There is also usually a call for volunteers to help set up for events as well. This ministry replaces the previous “Mason Jar Ministry”. Contact the church office for more information.
Outreach Ministry –For more information about how you can help, please contact Leone Falcone though the church office.
Currently CEC is proud to support Feed My Sheep Ministries based in Glenwood Springs with an annual outreach grant, as well as ongoing food and coat & camping supply donations. Feed My Sheep “provides a hand-up, rather than a hand-out” for the valley's homeless (http://www.feedmysheephomelessministry.org)
