The Abbey At Christ Church

Welcome to the Abbey at Christ Church. The Abbey is a living, evolving idea founded on the belief that there is a yearning in all of us to move towards an ever-deeper encounter with our Creator God. We approach this possibility by appropriating for ourselves, the rich devotional traditions of the first Christians. Through these ancient practices we seek to be at one with God, to experience the presence of God, and to allow that presence to form our everyday living through service. We invite you to experience the quiet worship and prayer life of the Abbey.

Prayer in Christ Chapel

Christ Chapel is open daily from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.. You are welcome to come to meditate, read scripture, pray and contemplate the silence.

Christ Church Courtyard

Our congregation will modify the courtyard in ways that will make it a comfortable three-season retreat for meditation and prayer. You are welcome to enjoy the beauty of this special place.

Abbey Classes

There are many opportunities for spiritual growth and development through practices classes. There are also regular programs, special programs, retreats and workshops scheduled throughout the year.

For more information about this developing community, please call the church office or talk with one of the pastors. Please know that there is a place for you in the Abbey of Christ Church!

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.
