Welcome to Christ Church

Christ Church is an active, vibrant parish in the heart of downtown Macon but drawing from a broad geographical area. Our church is rooted in history. The first church in Macon and in the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta, our parish was founded in 1825.

Our 2024-2025 program year is an ongoing celebration of our bicentennial. As our parish mission statement says, we are “Growing by God’s grace as a family of faith, fellowship, and ministry.” Our parish family is multigenerational with many young families and young adults, many longtime Maconites, and many newer to this community. We come from a variety of faith traditions. We are united in our love for the Lord, for God’s Word in Scripture, and our desire to love and serve others in Jesus’ Name, as we live out our faith in the Episcopal tradition.

The Book of Common Prayer provides a liturgical and theological framework for our worship and the practice of our faith inspired and empowered by the Holy Spirit. We welcome all people, no matter where you might be in your faith journey.

We are glad you have decided to visit our website and invite you to learn more about our parish and the many ways to get involved. We want to help everyone who visits us find a place of ministry and fellowship. We offer everyone the opportunity to grow in the love and grace of God.

We challenge ourselves and the world to love like Jesus as we worship joyfully, serve compassionately, and grow spiritually. —Diocesan Purpose Statement
