About Christ Church Episcopal
Christ Church Episcopal is a historic, inclusive Anglo-Catholic parish located at the corner of Douglas and McCallie Avenue in Chattanooga, serving as the local presence of the Episcopal Church and the worldwide Anglican Communion. The church follows Jesus by serving others, engaging change, and living a thoughtful, compassionate faith, welcoming all people regardless of background. Christ Church celebrates the Eucharist each Sunday using the Book of Common Prayer in the rich Catholic tradition with beautiful liturgical practices including incense, music, and procession. The parish offers two Sunday services—a simple spoken Rite I Mass at 8:00 AM in the Lady Chapel and a solemn high Rite II Mass at 10:30 AM with contemporary language, incense, and choir music—as well as a Wednesday evening Mass in the Lady Chapel. Childcare is provided for children ages 2-10 during services, and the church is step-free accessible through the memorial garden gate on Douglas Street.
