Christchurch is a brand new church plant for the East Mesa / Apache Junction area. The initial core of our church came from East Valley Bible Church in Gilbert – a church of over 4,000 people that saw the opportunity and need to see a church planted in this region that would espouse a similar set of emphases: Classical, orthodox doctrine, a serious approach to true discipleship, and an embrace of God’s mandate to bless our cities with acts of service and gospel proclamation. A small group of men and women began meeting together in February of 2009. In November, we officially launched Christchurch, and opened  our doors to the community.

Christchurch is not for everyone – we make no claims that we are the only good church in town, or even that we are in some way “the best.” But we do believe that many churches in our modern world have abandoned significant principles and practices which we intend to recover.

We embrace the principles of accountability to classical Christian theology, the inspiration and authority of the Bible, the exclusive claims of Jesus, the Biblical call to discipline and sacrifice, the richness and priority of church-family relationships, and the value of our Christian heritage. In our practice, we are committed to the Spiritual journey of a deepening relationship with our God, the proclamation of the pure gospel, and the blessing of our cities through acts of service and the arts.

If you are interested in joining us, we would be happy to speak with you further. We pray daily that God would add to our number those who will grow deep in Christ with us, and go with us into our world to help change it in Jesus’ name! Please feel free to contact us with your questions, or simply join us Sunday morning.

God’s best to you,

Bill Hartley,Pastor, Christchurch
