Welcome to Christ Church, Xenia!
And we really do mean that. We are an open and affirming congregation, and 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. Sunday Services

Due to the need for social distancing Christ Episcopal Church Xenia will be holding Morning Prayer on Sundays at 9:30 am and occasional Evening Devotionals when possible online for the near future. They will stream live on Facebook and on our webpage https://www.christ-episcopal-xenia.org/
You can also catch them as recordings on Facebook/webpage if you tune in late. Peace be with you and be well. So click the link below to go directly to Facebook or the link to the side (which shows the last six posts on Facebook) to go straight to the video link on Facebook when it is showing. Below is a calendar and materials for the devotions. We will probably have more features in the coming days. Click on Evening Devotion to go to the page dedicated to this information: |

Thank you to those who have kept up with pledges! Our work has continued through the COVID lockdown...some parishioners are with us through the USPS (weekly devotionals are mailed out to them), some through our on-line worship each Sunday, some through phone calls (our sexton/vestry-at-large Brad is a superhero!), some through service in our bagged dinners on Sundays during the lockdown.
Click on the button below if you'd like to give your pledge via the Diocese of Southern Ohio (this is set up especially for churches like ours). Or mail or deliver your pledge to Becky at Nickell House. |
