Christ Church Geelong Service Times

Denomination: Anglican Church

Christ Church seeks to be a centre for the worship of Almighty God, providing strength and assistance for all who enter, and enabling God's love in Christ to reach out to the community and world in which we live.

Our parish is an Anglican parish that offers a variety of spiritual opportunities to people, all with the supreme purpose of enabling as many people as we can to place Christ in the centre of their lives. It is not our mission that we serve but God's. It is not our purpose to serve our own agendas but it is our agenda to serve Christ.

Christ Church seeks to make the Word of God fully known by being a centre for the worship of The Ever-living God, providing strength and assistance for all who enter, and enabling God's love in Christ to reach out to the community and world in which we live.

Core values

To love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength, and to love our neighbours as our selves.
To hold Christ at the centre of our being.
