Welcome to Christ Church, Xenia!​

And we really do mean that.  Our welcome is extended to everyone, because we believe that everyone is loved and welcomed by God.  We invite you to come and visit; worship with us, share conversation and food at Coffee Hour, and join in the many ways we share the gifts God has given us with each other and with our larger community. 

It doesn’t matter if you are a life-long Episcopalian, from another denomination or tradition, or simply not certain what, if anything, you believe.  There is a place for you here, and acceptance, and a multitude of ways for you to use your gifts.  While we are a small, “family-sized” church, we do have a great heart for God and the world. 

Come and visit!  Visit to stay - you are welcome in this place.

​OUr Vision
At Christ Episcopal Church Xenia we strive to be a welcoming, inclusive, and worship-centered congregation.
In our life as a community we hope to live and spread the Gospel so that those we encounter will come to know God.
We encourage spirit-filled, joyful participation in all aspects of our life as church, and we prayerfully base our decisions and actions on the foundation of Scripture, Tradition, and Reason -  the Episcopal “three-legged stool”.
You are welcome to visit and to ask questions, to join us, to bring your gifts, and to be blessed as we are blessed – by the Presence and love of  God.
