All the tools necessary for the group working at the site will be provided.

Service and Missions
The Service and Missions Team is always looking for a few good people.

Thank you, to the volunteers who have recently provided some TLC to the beds in front of the church building!
Thanks to the hard work of some volunteers, the church grounds are beginning to show beauty. If you are interested in helping beautify the grounds of ChristChurch, please contact the church office to learn how you can participate.
Snakes!
We just wanted to let you all know that if you spot a snake or two on or near our parking lot entrance, please don’t be alarmed. They are probably not real!
We have placed a couple of rubber snakes near the entrance as the first wave of an ongoing program we have initiated, and which we have dubbed PDI, or Peacock Defense Initiative. While these birds are beautiful creatures of God and emit a haunting, melodic song… they also emit other things on to our sidewalks. So we are experimenting with some non-lethal approaches to keeping them off the property.
