2014 Church Directory

The Communications Committee has completed a new Church Directory.  If you would like a PDF of the directory to print at home (22 pages), contact Kim Dudley or Michael Black.  

 

We have not had an up-to-date directory in five years, and this document is our best attempt to capture those individuals who are affiliated with Christ Church.  We apologize in advance if your name or picture is inadvertently omitted; email us and we will correct immediately.

DR Mission Team Report
A record year for scholarships
Your 2014 DR Mission Team accomplished amazing things in the the DR this year. Read about the good work in the final report posted as a Vineyard article. The home teams from several team members' churches supported the scholarship effort so successfully that we were able to fund 35 scholarships at $350 for the upcoming year. That is $12,250. In 2013 we funded 25 scholarships, which was a record at that time. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
