Worship with Us

Sundays @ 9:00 AM

Our Theology

Christ Church Waukegan takes its theology from the revealed Word of God in the Bible and as expressed in the Creeds and tradition of the Church. We affirm the reconciling love of God made known in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We confess the Trinity as the essential and communal nature of God.

Christ Church joyfully participates in the two central Sacraments instituted by Christ—Holy Baptism and Holy Eucharist—as signs and catalysts of God’s grace.

Our Church respects intellectual and spiritual seeking. We intend to walk as companions with those who are exploring faith, those joining a religious community for the first time, and anyone coming back to church after a time away.

Our faith shapes how we worship with joy, how we serve our neighbors with compassion, and how we welcome people from every walk of life into our community.

For many years, Christ Church has sought to live the motto “Seeking, Serving, Sharing Christ.” This means we remain open to questions and discovery, we commit ourselves to service in Waukegan and beyond, and we share the good news of Christ’s reconciling love through prayer, fellowship, and action.
