Christ Church is a vibrant, multigenerational church in downtown Macon, Georgia, growing by God’s grace as a family of faith, fellowship, and ministry. We celebrate our history and are approaching our parish’s 200th anniversary in 2025 which is also the 25^th anniversary of our Fisk organ. The oldest church in Macon and the mother church of the diocese of Atlanta, we have about 700 members with a staff of 2 priests, a full time youth minister, a full time director of music, a part time children’s minister, and support staff. We provide opportunities for all ages for spiritual growth and fellowship, joyful worship, an excellent music program, healing ministry, and extensive opportunities for outreach ministry including our own program for meeting the needs of the food insecure, Weekend Lunch. We also help people discern and develop their own gifts for ministry and to carry them out in the life of the church and the surrounding community. We love to celebrate life together- often enjoying our beautiful weather outdoors Our church draws from about a 40-minute radius in any direction.

Macon is a thriving city in the heart of Georgia known for its live music scene, revitalized and growing downtown, and proximity to Atlanta, the mountains, and the coast. Macon is home to three institutions of higher learning that help to support a very affordable cosmopolitan community that enjoys the arts and entertainment. We work in conjunction with the larger body of Christ and other communities of faith to serve the middle Georgia area more effectively. As a result, Macon has a wonderfully supportive network of ministries and people that work together to best meet the needs of the larger community.
