You need not be a member to worship with us or participate in our ministries.
The Basics
Getting to Christ Church
We are a church with a proud history of more than 65 years located near the heart of Lake Oswego.
We are located in the heart of Lake Oswego at 1060 Chandler Road on the corner of 10th Street and Chandler Road.
Where Do I Park?
The main parking lot is just off Chandler Road. Look for the park and ride sign. A second parking lot is on the lower side of the church off 10th Street. Disabled parking and access available in either lot. TriMet bus service via line 78 is available on Sundays. The nearest stop is across the street at the intersection of Chandler and A Street. Christ Church is easy to walk or bike to as well.
What to Expect When You Visit
As you enter Christ Church on a Sunday morning, you will notice a deep sense of reverence mixed with heartfelt joy among the worshipers. An usher will greet you and give you a service leaflet prepared for that day. This contains an outline of the service, announcements and church contact information. Feel free to sit anywhere. Each pew has a blue hymnal book and a red Book of Common Prayer (BCP). Hymn numbers for the service are listed in the leaflet. It does help to look ahead in the service leaflet and note the hymnal page numbers for easier reference. The BCP contains the details of standard Episcopal worship services and ceremonies. The service leaflet will contain relevant portions from the BCP pertaining to the morning’s service and references to the BCP source pages. It’s unlikely you will need to consult the BCP during the service.
Regular services are scheduled each Sunday at 8:00 AM and 10:00 AM.
- The 8:00 AM service is shorter, lasting less than an hour, and does not include hymns or other music.
- The 10:00 AM service has greater family attendance and includes hymns, choir and organ accompaniment. It lasts a little more than an hour and includes Sunday school and a nursery for younger children.
- The smaller and more intimate Celtic services are held seasonally 5:00 PM.

Learning More
Please feel comfortable asking questions and seeking information. Ushers and Greeters are present on most Sundays to assist. There is also a welcome table in the Narthex (the entryway at the back of the church) where we encourage you to pick up a newcomers brochure full of information.
