Family

Almighty God, our heavenly Father, who settest the solitary in families: We commend to thy continual care the homes in which thy people dwell. Put far from them, we beseech thee, every root of bitterness, the desire of vainglory, and the pride of life. Fill them with faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness. Knit together in constant affection those who, in holy wedlock, have been made one flesh. Turn the hearts of the parents to the children, and the hearts of the children to the parents; and so enkindle fervent charity among us all, that we may evermore be kindly affectioned one to another; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

At Christ Episcopal Church, our Family Ministry exists to equip parents to shepherd their children in the love of God. Christ Church sees the family as the most formative place in a child’s spiritual journey. We offer Mom’s groups, parent education, Family Camp and marital renewal. We seek to equip couples for strong marriages and empower all parents to live in the story of God’s redeeming love.  We embark on this journey knowing it can be messy, and we embrace the mess together.  When our families are connected to God and each other, we believe we bring God’s Kingdom to fruition in our lives.

Christ Church Momco affiliates with the Global Momco Ministry.  Our mission is to connect and guide moms through their journey of motherhood.  We meet the 3^rdTuesday of each month from 6-8 pm providing dinner for moms and childcare for children 6 weeks- 12 years. Rooted in our relationship with Christ, we offer a safe space to share, grow, and engaging speakers who speak to relevant subjects.  All moms are welcome!  If you are interested, please register here.

Whether it’s navigating marriage or parenting, Christ Church looks to consistently provide our families with speakers to help provide faith-based direction on topics parents are facing.  We believe in directly addressing tough topics together and providing parents a place to form a community as they face the challenges that may come.

As a member of the Diocese of West Texas, Christ Church families may attend Family Camp at the Mustang Island Conference Center, near Port Aransas.
