Christ Church introduced us to the Anglican tradition, which is very liturgical and beautiful. Upon arrival, you are warmly greeted by ushers opening the door for you and welcoming you. You pick up a bulletin with the order of service and the very well marked and easy to follow along reading and responses.
They have "Word and Sacrament" each service, which means they do Communion/Lord's Supper each service.
The demographics of this church is breathtaking. People from all over the country and the world, from all ethnicities and age groups, join in worship. It is absolutely beautiful to see so many different people united as we partake in communion (which they do walk down to the front to take, but you do not have to if you do not want to.)
The nursery and children's area is wonderful. The nursery is professionally staffed and the security is top notch. There is also a family room/ nursing room available for moms with infants with the service live streamed on a tv.
We enjoy the music, the sermons, and the liturgy each week. They also have a variety of small groups you can join to really get plugged in and get to know people deeper.
We like the reverence and how the service engages our intellect as well as our hearts. The Rector & Dean (the main Father/Preacher/Pastor dude) loves CS Lewis, so if you are an avid CS Lewis fan, it's a real treat to hear him incorporate Lewis quotes and stories into the sermon.
The Children's ministry is great, with lots of communication and accessibility.
