| Practicing Generosity:
A Core Value at Christ Church, Generosity
is central to the Christian life. Just as God has so generously
given us all that we have and all that we are, and gives his very
self to us in Jesus Christ, so we learn to give of ourselves as
we grow in the Christian life and faith. The habits of generosity
are learned first of all through a growing and deepening awareness
of our blessings in life. When we fully appreciate how blessed
we are, we cannot help but respond in giving of ourselves back
to God.
Building community
Building up and caring for the Body of Christ
takes many forms at Christ Church — from the welcome we
extend to newcomers, to the lively sense of community nurtured
through parish suppers and small group ministries, to the pastoral
care given to those who are sick or in need.
Clergy and staff salaries and benefits A large part of our parish
budget goes to the salaries and benefits of our staff. Good people
working for us day in and day out are critical to the life of
our parish. The costs of salaries and benefits continue to rise,
and we must do our part to insure that we offer fair compensation
to those who work so hard for us.
