A message from Father Sullivan


I am deeply grateful for all that was done to celebrate my recent birthday - for the gift sent in my name to Greater Woodbury Cooperative Ministries, for the altar flowers on the Sunday nearest my birthday and on June 1st, for the beautiful reception in the parish hall and for the many cards and telephone calls! Since my retirement, it has been a joy and a blessing for me to be associated with Christ Church and its many faithful and thoughtful and friendly members.

Summer Stewardship


Mid-Year Giving Statements

Giving statements will be mailed in early July. They’re a great opportunity to review your stewardship commitment and reflect on the impact of your giving. For questions, contact Betsy at (856) 845-0190 or office@christchurch.woodburynj.org.


Summer Giving Reminder

Summer is a time of rest and renewal—but also a challenge for churches as routines and attendance shift. Your continued financial support ensures Christ Church’s ministries remain strong all year long.



Whether you give weekly, monthly, or quarterly, your generosity makes a lasting difference. Consider setting up online giving for a simple and consistent way to give—even while traveling.


Thank you for your faithfulness and support. Your generosity reflects God’s love at work in our community.
