Worship is the heart of Christ Church, and is the high point of our parish every week. Our worship is rich and varied.

Our Sunday Worship
Our 8 a.m. communion service is traditional in nature and includes hymns with organ and homily. It is a wonderful service of quiet solemnity, couched in ancient liturgy.

Our 10:30 a.m. Eucharist is a blended service of both traditional and contemporary components. Combining heart and art, this service is a powerful expression of love and praise to our Creator. Historic liturgy, grand music, and biblically-focused preaching are the hallmarks of this service.

Our 9:00 p.m. Service of Compline is chanted by the Compline Choir of Christ Church Savannah. The choir, made up of singers from churches around the city, sings in the darkened nave of Christ Church by candlelight.

Our Wednesday Worship
The Wednesday Chapel Eucharist is a quiet, intimate time of worship that brings to the middle of a busy week a moment of reflective refreshment.

Our church is committed to ministry through music, not a mere music program. As followers of Jesus Christ we strive to equip the gathered saints for the work of ministry. Therefore, music making is not an end in itself, but a means to a greater end: that of offering a living sacrifice of praise, of personal time and talent to our God.

As Christian musicians, we are not here to serve the art, but to serve the God of the art. Therefore the first commitment we ask of each participant is to be a worshipper. Ours is not an auditioned program. Membership in a choir requires the ability to match pitch consistently, a commitment to regular attendance, and a desire to improve one's own musical ability. We encourage you to come and experience our ministry of music. It will feed your soul.

Choirs
Our first and largest choir is our Congregation Choir which gathers for worship each week. Our congregation loves to sing God's praises and enjoys a rich heritage of Hymns, Psalms, and Spiritual Songs as an offering to God. Our rehearsing choirs include:

Parish Choir (Senior High through Adult)
Leads in worship each Sunday at 10:30 a.m. Eucharist. Presents major works, Advent Lessons and Carols, and an annual Spring Concert.

Choristers (Grades 2-middle school)
Leads in worship each Sunday at 10:30 a.m. Eucharist. Participates in Advent Lessons and Carols and an annual Spring Concert.

The Bells of Christ Church (Mixed Teen-age and Adult group)
Rings monthly in worship at 10:30 a.m. Eucharist. Participates in Advent Lessons and Carols and an annual Spring Concert.

The Compline Choir, an auditioned ecumenical choir, sings the Office of Compline each Sunday at 9:00p.m. The choir has been invited several years to sing for the Georgia Music Educator’s Convention (GMEA), has been featured in several newspaper articles and has produced a television special with WTOC. “Come, say goodnight to God.”

Folk Group
(Mixed Teen-age and Adult group)
Instrumental and Vocal Ensemble. Leads music during the Eucharist at the 10:30 a.m. service.

Musical Instruments
Christ Church has been lovingly endowed with a collection of fine musical instruments. The church has two organs: a 61-rank/3-manual Harrison and Harrison from England in the church nave, and a 2-manual/25-rank Allen Renaissance Organ in the Chapel. Other keyboards in the musician's gallery include a 6-foot Boston by Steinway, and a 2-manual Harpsichord by Sabathil and Sons of British Columbia, Canada.

The church's active Handbell Choir program enjoys a 6-octave set of Malmark handbells for tune ringing, 6-octave set of choir chimes and a 3-octave set of Petit and Fritzen Handbells used for liturgical and change ringing. Through its Audio Ministry, the church records services of worship and all major musical events digitally through a stereo pair of Neumann microphones.

Outreach and Concerts
Each year Christ Church is blessed with visiting choirs, organists, vocalists, and instrumental ensembles who put on concerts in our church nave. The room features excellent acoustics, and the intimacy provided by the wrap-around gallery makes for a favorite place in Savannah for concert making. In February of each year Christ Church plays host to the Choral Division of GMEA (Georgia Music Educator's Association). Savannah Music Festival, held each March, regularly holds concerts in Christ Church and sponsors an annual organ concert. In addition, our Music Ministry presents a major choral work with orchestra each year and an Annual Spring Concert in May featuring all of the choirs and music ensembles of the church. Most recently, The Bells of Christ Church have begun a series of outreach tours in the early summer.

Now Available: Four professional CD’s from the Christ Church Music Ministry featuring the Compline Choir, The Bells of Christ Church, the Folk Group, the Parish Choir with orchestra, and all of the choirs of Christ Church.
