Christ Episcopal Church

Share a story

Our Mission is "To Know Christ, and to Make Christ Known." Our Vision is to grow as a thriving community in the heart of Springfield recognized for ministry to our congregation, and world.

Christ Episcopal is the oldest church still in operation in Springfield, Missouri, meeting in the oldest church building still in use. Christ Church was established in 1859, and is included in the National Historic Register.

Christ Church is a vibrant and very active parish, and it holds closely the traditions of The Episcopal Church while also being mindful of the ever-changing world around us. Christ Church is inclusive, friendly, and a great space for anyone looking to nourish, strengthen, or deepen their spiritual lives.
