Grace to you and peace from God Our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

I want to take this opportunity to welcome you to Christ Lutheran Church through the medium of this web site. I hope that in the following pages, you will see something of our life together here at Christ Church . Through the words that you read and the pictures you will see, I hope that you will sense that this is indeed a community of faithful believers bound together in common mission and ministry in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Here at Christ Church that mission is to reflect God’s love in the heart of York . Located in the heart of the city, we have sought to bear faithful witness down through the 276 years of our existence to the love of Christ for all. In our worship, in our outreach ministries, in our care for one another, we have sought to offer praise and worship to God, to connect with the wider community through service and to proclaim the Good News of salvation to one and all. Today Christ Church is an active congregation of some 900 members which holds its historic past with affection and approaches the future with confidence and hope as we carry on the mission of Christ in these times. Grounded in Holy Baptism, we worship God Father, Son and Holy Spirit while our life and ministry is centered and grounded in the weekly liturgy of Word and Sacrament.  

We are pleased to welcome all visitors and newcomers and we hope that at some point in the future, you might be able to join us in person for worship or any of our other faith filled activities. Nursery care for infants and preschool children is available during both the liturgy and in the education hour. Children are always welcome, indeed encouraged, to join us for worship. Bulletins and crayons for children are available from the ushers. And if you have no church home in the York area, we invite you to consider membership at Christ Church .

May the Lord bless you this day and all the days of your life.

The Reverend Patrick J. Rooney STS

Senior Pastor
