Christ Church of Peace

Located in the historic Riverside area of Jacksonville, Christ Church of Peace is an inclusive, transdenominational church that believes ALL people are made in God's image and that our Creator loves all of his and her children just as they are. Welcoming, accepting, and affirming, we tend to attract LGBT people, their families, friends, and community allies ... although we're a congregation and community representing people young and older, singles and couples, of all races and ethnic backgrounds, genders and gender expressions, special needs and/or challenges, and in different places along their spiritual journeys.

    In the words of Jehovah Jireh, a praise song honoring our provider, "God's grace is sufficient for me!"

What Makes Us Special

Sunday Worship

10:30 AM


Our Sunday morning worship is a wonderful blend of the contemporary and traditional, prayer and praise, teaching and preaching, a special time for children, and communion. Conveniently scheduled -- neither too early nor too late -- our service moves quickly from welcoming announcements to fellowship and food. Regardless of your faith or denominational background, you will feel comfortable and at home with family and friends here. Come, visit us on Sunday and experience the warmth of a friendly place you can call your spiritual home.

Bible Study

Sundays ~ 9:45-10:15 AM

Beginning Sept. 12, 2010

Join us for an interactive half-hour of Bible study -- along with meditations on the beliefs and practices of other, non Judeo-Christian faiths -- every Sunday right before service ... as we discuss such timely yet provocative topics as those "Clobber Verses," "Uppity Women of the Bible," "God, Gays, and Grace," "What Different Denominations Believe," etc.  There's still time for a quick break between our Bible Studies and the beginning of Sunday services.

Celebrating our second decade of honoring God, good stewardship, community support and engagement, Christ Church of Peace is a special place of peace and sanctuary for special people.

Our vision is to be known best for innovative ministry in service to God and the church of choice for all people seeking a spiritual home.  We hope to be a role model for others to follow, growing stronger through diversity and becoming a tool for social change.

We consider ourselves to be a "healing" church, a congregation of people whose hurts and needs will find appropriate ministry and blessings here.

At Christ Church of Peace, you'll find a worshiping and ministering community of believers on a spiritual journey of discovery and growth.  Though based on a solid Christian foundation, we embrace aspects of other faiths and welcome people of all ages, races, marital status, nationalities, genders and gender expressions, sexual orientations ... as well as those challenged by special needs.

The Lord Jesus invites us to "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)

We hope that you will explore our Web site, the church's home online ... to visit and worship with us ... and to contact us directly with any of your questions or concerns.
