Our Story
In 1986, founding pastors Drs. David and Marlinda Ireland, and six other Christ-led believers, teamed up to do God's work. Our congregation grew rapidly ... our vision expanded.
To be a church that is racially, culturally and ethnically integrated. Our message on promoting reconciliation and restoration among the races is a very real one to us. Acceptance of people is our calling and passion.
We feel God's mandate to build a worshipful congregation where praise music plays a significant role. Our worship will be celebrative, prophetic and rich in the participation of the performing arts.
We strive to prepare the next generation to reach their potential for Jesus Christ. Innovative methods of instruction will be utilized so that many may respond to the call of God and serve their generation as gifted leaders.
Education must be sought-after and embraced by God's people. To succeed in a competitive and secularized world and to serve as the next generation of leaders, we must engage in their spiritual education and own their learning.
We believe that serving the needs of our community is part of our Christian responsibility. Therefore, we will continue to develop Bible-based social programs to help solve some of our community's problems.
The Great Commission must be fulfilled! Trained missionaries, theologians, specialists in church matters and five-fold ministry gifts are needed to address the needs of the 21st century. Christ Church strives to ensure that its membership is both biblically literate and skilled in applying the word of God. We view ourselves as developers of leaders in every age category.
