The Community Gathers

Worship, Music & Community Life

Welcome to Christ Presbyterian Church, located in and embracing the vibrant downtown center of Canton, Ohio. Whether you are a lifelong church-goer or this is your first experience into a faith community, we offer you a warm welcome. We are steeped in the ancient traditions of the earliest Christian communities infused with twenty-first century energy and purpose. Our individual and communal spiritual pilgrimage is fostered and grown by meaningful worship, thoughtful community life, significant biblical and theological study, spiritual formation practices and a commitment to minister to the least, the lost and the alone.

We invite you to get to know us by browsing our website. We extend further our invitation to meet us in community.
Pastor, Dave de Vries

Another “New” at Christ Church

If you are checking out this website, you are going to find what more and more people in the Canton area already know: the great energy and enthusiasm we experience in worship, fellowship, study and mission outreach is a sure sign that the Holy Spirit is among us and is working through us. And some thought downtown churches were a dying breed. Check us out!

Whether you are a novice pilgrim or a veteran believer, we hope that you will find something here that sparks your interest, engages your intellect, ignites your passion, and challenges your faith. And, of course, you are welcome to join in all the activities of Christ Church. You are welcome to call any member of the staff if you would like more information about the congregation, its mission or a particular event.
