I was glad when they said unto me,
"Let us go to the house of the Lord."
(Psalm 122:1)

Peace be with you!

"Friend, you have come to this Church, leave it not without a prayer.  No one entering a house ignores him who dwells in it.  This is the House of God and He is here.  Pray then to Him who loves and bids you welcome and awaits your greeting.  Give thanks for those who, dying that we might live, have preserved for us our heritage.  Praise God for His gift of beauty in paint, architecture, handicraft and music.  Ask that we who now live may build up the spiritual fabric of the nation in truth, beauty, and goodness and that as we draw near to the Father through our Lord Jesus Christ we may draw nearer to one another.  The Lord preserve thy going out and thy coming in."

We care for you as an individual

We extend a warm invitation to you to attend Christ Church.  Our church was founded in 1889 and rebuilt in 1920 after a catastrophic fire that completely destroyed the old church.  The beautiful traditional gothic style architecture of Christ Church creates an atmosphere which recreates the glorious tradition of the Anglican Communion.  Our services are easy to follow and inspiring to attend.  We are uniquely enabled to meet the needs of others around us.  In a day and age where everyone seems to be looking out for themselves, we seek to emphasize a personal and caring ministry to others.

Christ Church maintains an active outreach to the Bluefield  community.  Christ Church members are at work as volunteers and board members throughout the area and frequently bring acute local needs to the parish's attention.  The food pantry operated by our church has served hundreds of needy families.  There are many other worthy community organizations in our area which benefit from our community outreach.

Global missionary partnership is a long-standing tradition in the Episcopal Church, and Christ Church is actively involved with ministry in the world-wide community.  We support the Presiding Bishop's Fund for World Relief.  Ecumenical cooperation with the Roman Catholic and Lutheran Churches is ongoing within the Episcopal Church family.

Possibly you might have some questions or concerns we could help you with today.  If so, please do not hesitate to call us!  We are here as part of your community to serve you.  We look forward to meeting you in the near future at one of our activities.

Sincerely yours,

The Rev. Michael E. Snider II

Rector
