Christ Episcopal Church is part of The Episcopal Church in the United States, the Anglican Communion, and the greater Body of Christ throughout the world which is the one holy, catholic, and apostolic Church.

The word "Episcopal" means "governed by bishops." Just as the early Church had "overseers," (in Greek - επίσκοπος, transliterated Episcopos), we have bishops who provide for spiritual leadership, direction, and oversight.

We live our life together under the doctrine, discipline, and worship of an ancient tradition of Christians, and we are related to the Church of England.

Our worship is liturgical, and follows ancient forms of rite and ritual, but uses modern language. It involves the whole congregation and consists of scripture readings, hymns, a sermon, prayers, and the Holy Eucharist. The celebration of Holy Eucharist (also called Holy Communion, the Lord's Supper, or the Mass) is the principal act of Christian worship on the Lord's day (Sunday) in The Episcopal Church.

Our congregation is a part of the Episcopal Diocese of North Carolina, a judicatory division (like a synod, presbytery or conference) headed by a bishop that lives in Raleigh, NC. He is assisted by two bishops, an assistant bishop that lives in Charlotte, NC, and an assisting bishop that lives in Greensboro, NC.
