In Christian tradition goodness is never just a private possession or a personal virtue. The good is something always shared, worked for with others, sought out in community. Neighbors and neighborhood are essential to our life. At Christ Church, we’re actively asking what it means to be an urban church, responsive to and welcoming of the particular gifts and needs, the character and the characters of downtown Little Rock.

Green Groceries

At Christ Church, we believe that everyone should have access to fresh, local produce. So we created the Green Groceries Program, a food pantry without the cans. Members pick up free, local produce supplied by the Arkansas Local Food Network to help feed their families. In addition to helping 40 households in need, this program also supports local farmers and helps to build the local food economy.

The Parish house and the Sixth Street Library

The Parish House is open to the community — we host everything from community groups, to basketball, to AA meetings. Our halls serve as gallery space for local artists and we are regularly a stop on the Friday Night Art Walks put on by the Little Rock Downtown Partnership.

Go forth into the world to love and serve

As we leave church each week, we’re charged by a deacon to go and serve. Christ Church partners with local and worldwide agencies, such as Stewpot and St. Francis House, Our House, Episcopal Relief and Development, and others, to feed those who are hungry and house those who are homeless, and to help heal addictions. We’re striving to make a difference.
