Christ Church Oak Brook offers online worship

Christ Church Oak Brook has suspended in-person worship services due to growing concerns over the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and out of an abundance of care and caution for its community.

All Christ Church worship services are being livestreamed. In-person services have been canceled. Attendees are asked to gather online at 9 a.m. and 10:45 a.m. Sunday, March 29, at ChristChurch.us.

The small and mid-size group ministries continue to meet online. Join the discussion. The Grow Ministry is offering 15 minute prayer breaks daily at 12:30 p.m. (CST) on weekdays via Zoom. All large-group gatherings at the church have been suspended. For up-to-date information on church protocol and meeting status, please visit ChristChurch.us/coronavirus.

Christ Church is postponing its annual production of "The Passion," initially scheduled for Palm Sunday April 5 to May 3.

Christ Church had already begun communicating to its congregants to avoid shaking hands and embracing temporarily, providing additional daily disinfecting of common and office areas, and distributing hand sanitizers throughout its locations.
