Let’s break bread & learn about Episcopal Church traditions and the life and ministry of Christ Church!
Discovery Sunday is a new-member orientation held twice a year and is an important step for people discerning membership at Christ Church Episcopal. It's a great time to get to know the clergy and staff as well as other newcomers and longtime parishioners. The 2026 Discovery Sunday dates are February 22 and September 27.
We hope you will join us for this fun and interactive day where you can discover Christ Church, our staff, our clergy and our mission. This event is free, but registration is required (see links below).
Registration deadlines are February 15 for the first session and
September 20 for the second session. The nursery is available with
advance notice.
Contact Director of Welcoming Carrie Moore for more information.
