Mission at Christ Church

Would you like to belong to Mission to help churches in our local area, other churches in the U.S. or perhaps with churches outside of the U.S.?  We would love to have you join our Ministry of Mission.  There are no specific meeting times—when an opportunity arises where Mission might be able to help out, we lend our support.

Ometepe Island on Lake Nicaragua

Our own Mission work includes the ongoing project to support the mission work of Tom Fritz and his family on Ometepe Island in Lake Nicaragua.

In September of 2008 Tom Fritz visited Christ Church to present his work to parishioners during our adult forum. When he left, he took with him a laptop computer and numerous sewing supplies, donated by the members of our Church in support of the recently built school on the island.
