Christ Church is an Episcopal community that welcomes
all into the Household of Faith. We continually seek
new ways to broaden our ministry, to renew our faith,
and to serve Christ in all persons. Together we strive
for justice and peace among all people and respect
the dignity of every human being.
All baptized Christians are welcome to
share in Holy Communion.

Windows Restoration Continues
The restoration of the windows in the sanctuary
continues; plans call for each to be removed, taken
to Art of Glass Studios in Media, Pa., and returned
in time for the holidays. The Vestry recently
decided to include all windows, not just those facing north
and south in the sanctuary.
The church has received more than $155,000 in pledges and grants for the project, including grants from the Monmouth County Historic Commission and the State of New Jersey.
More information.
