Summer Camp at Honey Creek

Sign-up: https://honeycreek.org/camps/

Christ Church hosted the Valdosta State University Chamber Singers in a concert entitled "Resilience" on Monday evening, April 28. The conductor, Dr. Clell Wright, dedicated the performance to the recent victims of violence at Florida State University. Since Hurricane Helene destroyed the choir's performance space and offices in Powell Hall in September 2024, the Chamber Singers have practiced in our annex and performed in our sanctuary. Over 200 people attended the concert and the reception that followed. For a video recording of the concert on our YouTube channel, click the image above or this link: https://youtu.be/jv6yEc0ANEY

Christian Education for Adults

Every Sunday at 9:15a Christian Education has a learning session about the Sunday readings from 9:15a until 9:45a. We are looking for more members to join and participate in these sessions.
