Fellowship

We believe our fundamental mission is to encourage a deeper connection to God and one another in today’s scattered world. As such, in addition to worship services, we offer myriad ways to learn more about our faith, get to better know one another, and forge enriching connections with both.

EVENTS

Our community loves a reason to gather outside of worship, so we regularly host opportunities to do so. Whether it’s at one of our two annual fundraisers, our monthly Grill + Chill on the front lawn, a concert or walking with us in the Fourth of July parade, we know you’ll find meaningful connection here and have fun doing it!

SMALL GROUPS

A number of small groups meet monthly throughout the program year. Some are formed around certain affinities or commonalities, while others may be more general, but the common goal is for people to get to know one another better as they discuss their lives and spiritual life. Please reach out to Rev. Winnie to learn more or join.

General/ No Affinity

General/no affinity groups will allow people from various demographics and experiences within the parish to get to know one another. A great way to meet new people!

ADULT FORUMS

Please join us in the conference room at 10 a.m. for a led discussion on a wide variety of topics, featuring clergy, lay or guest speakers. Subjects range from faith exploration and spiritual growth to a deeper dive into one of our outreach ministries. See the calendar for more details.

COMMUNITY FELLOWSHIP GROUPS

In addition to those gatherings organized and led by Christ Church, these groups – comprised of parishioners and other Capitol Hill neighbors – offer opportunities to engage with others around shared interests. See the calendar for more details.

Men's Group

Christ Church’s long standing Men’s Group meets each Saturday morning in the church kitchen. Conversation ranges from weekly challenges and triumphs, to reflection on Sunday’s readings. All are welcome, and there is no commitment – just show up when you’re able.

First Friday Book Group

The Christ Church Book Group meets monthly in the Fall & Spring to explore spiritual themes in selected books. All are welcome, and commitment is not required. We meet for a light dinner at 6:30 p.m. in the parish hall, followed by group discussion.

Friday Night Film Series

Film enthusiasts meet most Fridays at 7 p.m. via Zoom to discuss a designated movie that members watch on their own. Some selections are themed, some are serious, and some are just plain fun. Anyone is welcome to join on any given week – commitment not required.

Brew Crew

Have you always wanted to brew your own beer? Or are you already a brewmaster? Join us! The Brew Crew meets every six weeks to brew and bottle together in the church kitchen. They experiment with making different kinds of beer, and often provide beer for church fellowship events.

Quilters

Christ Church + Capitol Hill Community Quilters from the parish and surrounding community meet Mondays at 2 p.m. in the church loft for camaraderie and creation. Their main product has helped to raise funds for Outreach partners during our St. Nick’s fundraiser. Experience with sewing or Christ Church membership not required – just a willingness to learn!
