Sermons and Videos of Worship
We value high-quality preaching at Christ Church. Our members like to read or listen to sermons when they miss church on Sunday. During the COVID-19 shutdown, you may also watch the video of the live broadcast of past Sunday worship. You may watch, read or listen to many recent sermons and videos here.
