We are very pleased you are visiting our website and would like to invite you and your family to visit St. Christopher.
Having been four separate congregations,
the new St. Christopher has several
exciting opportunities to serve God in our
community. Supporting ministry to The Good Shepherd Day Care Center since 1976 and the
St. James Resource Center for Enrichment
are two examples. At the Resource Center
for Enrichment, children receive help and
encouragement, particularly during a weeklong
annual Summer Day Camp. Another event
is the annual Dog Wash and Pet Blessing with
funds raised supporting outreach ministries,
such as the South American Missionary Society. Other
local community groups supported by St. Christopher
are Covenant House, Manna Meal, Heart and Hand, and
Dunbar Institute Samaritan House. The St. Christopher
church facilities, with its beautiful grounds and gardens,
are used on a regular basis by AA, Al Anon and Kairos
WV.
One of the many blessings of four becoming one has been a rejuvenated choir. Now 20 plus members strong, the choir and music are a major element in our worship. Both classical organ and contemporary music, along with various instruments and choral arrangements, are woven into the liturgy and service.
Charleston is the capital city
for “Almost Heaven” West
Virginia and the metro area has a
current population of approximately
300,000. Located on the Kanawha
River, we have a variety of year
round attractions, including a
wonderful symphony, community
theater groups, art galleries,
FestivALL and Sternwheel Regatta.
The Clay Center for the Arts and
Sciences of West Virginia houses
an art gallery, children’s museum,
and the Electric Sky Theatre and
planetarium. Hiking and biking can
be enjoyed in our neighborhoods and
local parks. Activities that are a short drive away
include whitewater rafting, rock climbing and
snow skiing. Charleston is a small home town
community with big city amenities.
