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

SCAMS! Or why doesn’t my firewall work?
We all know scams are a pain. There’s always questions on how to block them all. Bottomline: YOU CAN’T. Firewalls, spam blockers, etc. will catch many of them, but nothing is the perfect shield.
The best way to handle the situation is if you receive an unsolicited email or text that sounds like they want money & you don’t know who they are, it’s probably a scam (or a telemarketer). If you receive a messaged that is badly misspelled/doesn’t sound like something the person you know would say, it’s probably a scam (e.g. this last text said it was from Rev. Jean but wasn’t her number & was addressed to my husband—why would she want Ryan’s money when I’m the junior warden/parishioner?).
If a suspicious email has a link, never click it and DON’T hit reply!
If they want you to call back/email back, don’t use the provided number or email. Instead, call the person with the number you know is the person you know or start a new email with the correct email that you know they use. The bad guys will use a mask on the email that looks like it’s right, but really the reply is going to their bogus email.
Call or email that person with their email. It takes a few minutes to verify the request, and saves you tons of money, stress, and hassle.
