Get to Know Our History + Community
Christ Episcopal Church, nestled on the banks of the beautiful Ohio River Valley in southeastern Indiana, is just one block from the historic main street and three blocks from the river and the hills of Kentucky.
Madison is the largest contiguous National Historic Landmark District in the U.S. The church steeple is seen above the traditional red doors that ‘welcome everyone!’
Find Your Faith.
Find Your Community.
Christ Episcopal Church currently offers a Sunday Service at 9:30 AM. Additionally, Evensong is held each Wednesday evening at 6:00 PM. ​Since the retirement of our previous priest, Holy Eucharist is offered every other week alternating with Morning Prayer Service every other week. Both services primarily utilize Rite II.
​
Music is very important during both services. Organ, piano music and hymns are featured and are a central part of our service. In addition, our choir performs at holidays and other special occasions.We frequently add guest vocal and instrumental performances to the musical programming.
​
In the past, our priest included a Children’s Sermon during our worship. We are very hopeful that this practice can be resumed as our youth membership grows. In addition, prior to Covid, an 8 am Holy Eucharist was offered that did not include music. ​As the weather allows, we step outside to our award-winning church garden as we sing the last hymn. We also utilize this lovely space for our annual blessing of the animals and columbarium.
​
We also open our doors for those looking to hold an event in our space. Contact us today to learn how you can have your event in our beautiful great hall.
EVERYONE IS WELCOME
Embracing Inclusivity
Inclusion is a huge part of our mission at Christ Episcopal Church. In all things we do, we are working to make sure others feel wanted and included in our community.
Whether that is inviting them to a service, checking on those who have not attended recently, or trying to help those searching for a ministry discover something that speaks to their strengths and talents.
​
In addition, we practice silent prayer for others through group prayer or prayer chain.
It is very important to us as a congregation that ALL people have the opportunity to be part of our community.



Where We Call Home
Madison, Indiana is a picturesque rivertown, tucked within a valley along the mighty Ohio River between Cincinnati, Ohio and Louisville, Kentucky. Madison is the largest contiguous National Historic District with 133 blocks of historic architecture and character, and Madison’s tourism industry is “exploding” with visitors.
The community is a hotspot of activity for music and festivals, as well as the perfect natural setting – home to many parks, pathways, and the scenic Clifty Falls State Park.
As Madison has grown through the years, the more modern “hilltop” area of the City has taken shape. This is where you can find more grocery stores, restaurants and multiple amenities. Numerous global organizations are headquartered in Madison and can be found in both our historic downtown and hilltop areas, with more growth and development on the horizon.
​
Hospitality and welcome are common themes of this community, with many charitable organizations and nonprofits working to serve those in our community and surrounding areas. The Clearinghouse of Jefferson County houses numerous services and works as a connector to other nonprofits in the area. You can find more information on our numerous charitable and philanthropic organizations at this link.
