Welcome to all. The community called Christ Episcopal Church has gathered on the Guilford Green since 1744; and it is made new every time we meet together. Whoever you are and wherever you are on your spiritual journey, it’s an honor to worship with you. As a human being created in the image of God, you have something to teach this community about our Christian calling to love God and neighbor. Your presence is a blessing.

Do you need Pastoral Care?
Pastoral Care is God’s love in action throughout our parish community. This ministry of caring is a central expression of how we support, listen, and provide companionship to one another during challenging times such as hospitalizations, the death of a loved one, loneliness, and any other spiritual dilemma. Any parishioner may call at any time, day or night. Call Christ Church’s office, (203) 453-2279. Outside of office hours, or if you cannot get through to the parish administrator, follow the instructions on the voicemail. For a non-urgent pastoral matter, you may email The Rev. Michael Sweeney at [email protected].
