Welcome!

Christ Church Millwood welcomes you to a loving community of faith that serves Clarke County, and the Northern Shenandoah Valley. Our worship follows the Episcopal tradition of liturgy and music, embracing our history and traditions.

No matter who you are, and no matter where you are in your faith journey, we welcome you in Jesus’ name, to love and be loved.

Serving others is important at Christ Church, and outreach focuses on two primary things: helping people who are struggling with food insecurity; and making excellent music available to everyone. With our Christ Church Cares Food Pantry, we serve 85 local families through weekly food distribution. With our Christ Church Concert Series we continue the Church’s centuries of supporting the arts by offering monthly concerts for the cost of a freewill offering. Other service projects take place over the course of the year, as well.

What matters most to you? Let us get to know you, worship with you, and serve with you. On behalf of the vestry and people of Christ Church, I invite you to visit and see if the way we follow Jesus draws you to him, as well.

Grace upon grace,
Melanie+
