Purpose of Ministries at Christ Church

As a tangible expression of our stewardship of God’s creation and of our brothers and sisters in Christ, we seek to serve God and His Kingdom through individual and corporate dedication of time, talent and treasure in order to -- through people, projects, and programs -- “restore people to unity with God and with each other in Christ.”

Don't miss these new opportunities in our growing, roll-up-your-sleeves missions effort.

Refugee Immigration Ministry

For the past decade, a group of churches located on the North Shore have been supporting asylum seekers in beginning new lives in the United States. In 2008, Christ Church joined the consortium of congregations in providing Christian hospitality to asylum seekers and raising funds to support RIM.

And recently, Christ Church was awarded a grant from the North Shore Deanery to assist the costs of initial housing expenses for recently resettled refugees (first month rent, set-up costs in moving, etc.). This money was matched through missions giving from Christ Churh parishioners. (read more...)

Episcopal City Tutoring

This unique partnership between Christ Church and St Mary's of Dorchester is designed to harness the educational excellence and the spiritual resources of Christ Church to raise the hopes and prospects of children in Dorchester, while benefiting our own kids here in Hamilton and Wenham, too! Contact Kali Reynolds. (Read more....)

Acord Food Pantry

This local mainstay is the definition of a local ministry, and our time there helps both the town and the parish. Jim Reynolds and Sandy Friedrich have been regular volunteers at Acord in Hamilton. Sam Burr, 16, (son of Donna and Jeff Burr) helps Jim on a regular basis. Join us! (Read more...)
