Welcome to Christ Episcopal Church

Love God. Love your neighbor. Change the world.

Each Sunday evening at 5pm, we gather in the Parish Hall to watch part of The Chosen, a historical drama based on the life of Jesus. We'll spend some time discussing what we've seen and will end the evening with a meal.

Adult Formation Every Sunday morning at 9AM:

  • 1/26 - The way of Compassion

  • 2/2 - Pronouns and Identity

  • 2/16 - Do you renounce evil?

  • 2/23 - The way of Right Motive

  • 3/2 - Racial Justice

  • 3/23 - Will you, with God’s help?

  • 3/30 - The way of Peacemaking

  • 5/18 - The way of Surrender

The Red Wing downtown holiday stroll was an amazing success! We had over 220 people join us at the church for the carol sing, refreshments and hospitality. (And only a very few were actually trying to just get warm. Right?)

Christmas Eve
2024

Dear Friends in Christ, I’m a big believer in the power of listening. Part of it is that I think people are endlessly fascinating, and I’m always so grateful to get to know someone by listening to the stories of their life.

But part of it, too, is that I learned a long time ago that everyone brings their own knowledge, wisdom, insight, and downright good questions to an issue. And more often than not, that additional information and perspective is exactly what I need to make the best decision I can.

Listening, though, is countercultural in today’s world. Don’t get me wrong, there’s no lack of ways to communicate. But whether it’s traditional forms of media like television, radio, or newspapers; or social media platforms like Facebook, Tiktok, or Instagram, it feels like there’s a lot of debate – people stating their positions or arguing past each other – and not much in the way of dialogue, which involves respectful listening.

And that’s too bad. Because listening is so incredibly important, especially when it comes to our spirituality. Jesus is a great role model for us. Over and over again, Jesus gains confidence from listening – often in prayer – to the Father. It’s integral to his ministry. So as followers of Jesus, our spiritual lives have to include practices where we listen to the Triune God.

In Christ, Pastor Aaron Twait

Serving God and Serving our Community

At Christ Episcopal Church we believe Christ is calling us to be a renewed body in a changing world.  Empowered by the Spirit of God, we deepen our bonds with Christ and with one another in a community where all are accepted.

Wherever you are in your life with God—whether a hesitant searcher or a regular church goer—we invite you to worship with us and to make Christ Church your spiritual home.

We are committed to strengthening our faith and supporting each other on our spiritual journeys. We use our gifts and talents to follow Christ's teachings. We are bound together by love and fellowship, not by dogma or rigid beliefs. We meet, not at the table of the church, but at the table of our Lord, and we meet in love.

We are a welcoming mix of Christians with diverse accomplishments, backgrounds and opinions.   

We worship.    We celebrate.   We question.   We listen.   We study.   We pray.   We Serve.

Come to Christ Church. Add your voice—add your heart—to our worship. Sing the hymns with us. Pray the prayers. Everyone is welcome at Jesus’ table.

Thank you for sharing your worship with us. 

May the peace of God fill your heart and mind, and the Blessing of God Almighty—the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit—be with you, and remain with you, always.
