About

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.” Psalm 119:105

At Christ Church, we are an energetic young family of evangelistic Anglicans who use the Bible as our guide for life. Our church was founded in 1985 here in Plano and has grown to serve approximately 2,200 worshipers per weekend. We use a small group approach to fellowship as a tool for maintaining the intimate, small-church feeling so that anyone who wants to can get connected to other people. Our doors are always open to friends in the community who want to practice their Christian faith or learn about God for the first time.

Mission & Beliefs

Our mission here is to “go, make disciples, and teach them to obey the commands of Christ.”

Forming Our Mission
When the Rev. David H. Roseberry founded Christ Church in 1985, he knew that the church would need a purpose, a mission to follow. His five criteria for the mission: Biblical, big, clear, effective and pro-active. He decided that the following verse of scripture should be Christ Church’s mission.

History

“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you.” John 15:9

Christ Church began as a mission in 1985 when Bishop Patterson of The Episcopal Diocese of Dallas asked the Rev. David H. Roseberry to found a new Episcopal church in the west Plano area. The first church service of Christ Church met at Carpenter Middle School in Plano on August 4, 1985. That day, 240 worshipers attended. Christ Church gained parish status in the Diocese of Dallas on October 30, 1986.

Saint Timothy Academy is a dream come true for many children and their families, as well as for the teachers and generous donors who care for children with learning differences. The school's classroom experience reflects the redemptive nature of Christ while allowing each child to develop at their own pace.
