Little Rock's Downtown Episcopal Church

Welcome to Christ Church.

For nearly two centuries, Christ Church has lived as a faithful presence at the corner of 6th and Scott in downtown Little Rock. Our city has changed over that time, and so have we, but our commitment to love God and our neighbors has not. Each Sunday we gather to remember our common bond in Christ and seek to fulfill the promises we made at our baptisms to “strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being.”

Through our common worship, rooted in the Episcopal Church and Anglican tradition, we are gathered into a community beloved by God. Our unity in worship does not erase the diversity of our experiences and beliefs. We seek to be a broad and generous church, willing to be surprised by whatever form Jesus will next enter our doors. 

On any Sunday morning you may find an unhoused woman sitting next to a family with young children, a widow in her later years befriended by a gay couple just married in the church, a young person discerning their gender identity next a husband and wife whose last child left for college, a man who works in construction beside a woman who’s an executive at a bank. In our joys and sorrows, desires and disagreements, we all hear the common call, “The Lord be with you,” answering it with one voice, “And also with you.”  To be with God and one another—that is our hope as we continue to faithfully embody our life together in this place.

Here, we encounter the sacred through our senses

From divine creation to the arts, the experience of the beautiful draws us redemptively into community, and helps form us in the life to which God has called us.

Here, we engage in a graced search for truth

Searching for the true is a hallmark found in the scriptures and traditions of the Episcopal Church. We engage our minds, bodies, and souls in the search for truth.

Here, We seek the welfare of the city

In the biblical story, all creation is proclaimed good. At Christ Church we believe in working together for the common good so that all might share in the gifts of God.
