9am Sunday Service
Worship at Christ Church is shaped by the splendor and grandeur of our sanctuary, which befits the splendor and grandeur of the God we worship through Jesus Christ. While ancient in appearance, our sanctuary is alive and vibrant with color and imagery. In our worship we strive to capture these qualities, being faithful to the ancient worship patterns of Christian peoples, relevant to living lives of purpose and meaning in a modern, fast-paced city like New York.
Join us at 9AM for an intimate service with Holy Communion celebrated weekly.

Commitment Sunday
COMMITMENT 2025:
IT’S GO TIME
In Mark 13:1-9, Jesus urges His disciples to blepete—a Greek word evoking readiness and bold anticipation, like a runner poised to spring. Inspired by this, Christ Church’s Stewardship Team has chosen "It’s Go Time!" as this year’s Commitment Sunday theme on November 17. This annual celebration invites members to prayerfully consider their financial commitment for 2025, embracing a dynamic blepete to support our church’s expanding ministries: growing hospitality efforts, new additions to children & youth ministry, outreach initiatives, staff diversity, and deeper partnerships. With prayer, discernment, and generosity, members are encouraged to join in this year’s “GO,” supporting Christ Church’s vibrant mission in the coming year.
On Sunday November 17, we will give an opportunity for those planning on giving to Christ Church in 2025 to bring their commitment forward during the service.
