Meet Christ Church

Christ Church is located in Phoenix, Arizona with congregations in Mesa, Gilbert, Central Phoenix and Peoria, reaching over 4,500 people weekly. At Christ Church, they fly one flag—Christ crucified. He’s the one deserving worship. He’s the one proclaimed. He’s the one worthy of following. They are defined unequivocally by being doxological - in the doctrines of grace and salvation revealed in Scripture; missional - in that they are on the move, desiring to do everything they can to affect change in people’s lives; and intentional - having an awareness of the non-churches, seeking to remove barriers and having cultural sensitivity without compromise. Christ Church prioritizes transformation and life change, and love to tell and testify to the stories that demonstrate the power of the gospel. 

They are an inviting, Christ centered church where everyone is welcomed. Since launching in 2012 with a core group, Christ Church has grown significantly in Phoenix in weekly attendance across multiple congregations in the city. They offer vibrant and worship services where people experience the manifest presence of God. They have engaging programs for children, youth, young adults and adults, and a variety of opportunities to get involved through groups and studies.
