About Us
Every successful individual knows that his or her achievement depends on a community of persons working together.
St. Christopher’s was established in the early 1950s and has been a steadfast presence in Killeen for more than fifty years. Many of our charter members were military families stationed at nearby Fort Cavazos (then Fort Hood). We are a welcoming and caring Parish, desiring to grow, with a commitment to sharing the Gospel. Whether visitors are seeking a church home or searching for community which will embrace them as they are, we extend our hearts and hands to share our faith unconditionally. There is room at St. Christopher’s for you! Come share your faith journey with us.
You’ll find many opportunities to be involved at St. Christopher’s. We offer many diocese groups, outreach ministries and activities that will allow you to grow in fellowship and put your faith into action.
Worship at St. Christopher’s takes many forms. Our clergy are Priests and Deacons. Sometimes it may seem that they are the center of our worship services, but ultimately our services are the people’s work. In fact, our services are often referred to as “liturgy.” We enjoy the liturgies and old hymns, while also accepting and using more contemporary styles of worship and music as well. We believe in the power of prayer, the sovereignty of God, and the work of the Holy Spirit through our risen Lord.
We are “Protestant, yet Catholic” and retain both the ancient structures and traditions, while being as modern as today. Here, Holy Communion may be received by all baptized Christians; you don’t have to be a member of the Episcopal Church.
We are a sacramental community, which views the Scriptures as the revealed word of God, containing “all things necessary for salvation.” Episcopalians trust that the revealed Word is best interpreted within the community of the Church, advised by tradition, reason, and the ongoing guidance of the Holy Spirit.
We know that life can be tough. Everyone stumbles. We believe in 2nd chances, the forgiveness of sin, and life everlasting. Healing can begin at the communion rail.
We value and support marriage and family. We love kids! Marriage is intended to be lifelong and monogamous, but we know that life happens, and that grace remains after divorce. The sacraments are available to those who have been divorced or who live together without marriage… who doesn’t need the Body of Christ?
We are a people united in building the Kingdom of God. We celebrate and cherish our unity in Christ, even while we also honor and respect our differences. The work of spreading Christ’s love is our first and primary purpose.
In the Episcopal Church, and here at St. Christopher’s, we strive to love our neighbors as ourselves. We respect the dignity of every person. Wherever you are in your life’s long walk, here we are! You are welcome and you are not alone.
