Giving to Christ Church

At Christ Church, we are marked for mission – always giving ourselves away to the world around us. Worship is the heart of all we do. It is the source of our strength, the assurance of our salvation, and our gift of beauty to the world. Christ Church is an oasis of uncommon welcome. Each Sunday we say, “Whoever you are, we welcome you, as you are,” and as a congregation we embody this welcome every day of the week.

We seek each Sunday visitor to leave inspired and grateful for sharing with us what is sometimes easy to take for granted. Around 250,000 people are welcomed to the church, Neighborhood House and Burial Ground each year – we give ourselves away by welcoming in.

The membership of Christ Church has a joyful and solemn duty – we are its stewards, paying Christ Church forward to future generations, a future Philadelphia. a future world. As we are called to worship, welcome, and nurture, we are to provide the means to make it happen.

Words from members of our community:

Every month, we have the opportunity to hear from members of our community about what Christ Church is to them. Below you will find testimonials from Thomas McGinnis, a newer member of our church and Sandy Karger, a longtime member.

“My mother was ahead of her time because she talked about the importance of the COVENANT of giving. She encouraged me to think about my commitment to God and his work and the needs of others. And to make my giving decisions based on God’s needs as I saw them.”
- Sandy Karger [full testimonial]

“I see us as stewards, temporary guardians for this wonderful and sacred place. I not only give to Christ Church for my personal connection to this historic place, but also for accepting me fully, for who I am and making me feel welcome every single Sunday I walk through those doors. For allowing me to participate fully in all the traditions. For reminding me that I belong to a wonderful community of people who love this place just as much as I do.”
