“The Church nourishes my soul with its commitment to helping those in need. Through outreach, the Church lifts not only my spirit but also the spirits of the brothers and sisters I may never meet.” – Marcia Wilkinson
“After leaving my former church of 30 years, I searched for a church home and knew from the first service at Christ Church Cranbrook that I had found my spiritual home. It offered me a place to serve, to offer my gifts and to grow spiritually — it’s had a profound impact on the way I live and think. The support and love of clergy, staff and friends during the death of my husband held and uplifted me when I didn’t see a way forward. Many weekdays I went to church to sit quietly, pray and think. Christ Church Cranbrook has nourished my soul in countless ways, and I’m humbly grateful.” – Linda Truxell
“The willingness of people to come together to help those who are needy and also the harmony of people working together. In my mind Jesus is visualized as reaching out to help the needy and that gives me spiritual happiness.” – Rachel Duggal
“For me it’s the music that takes me away from the mundane and points me closer to God.” – Rob Carrigan
Christ Church Cranbrook is a place of beauty to behold and music to soothe. Its clergy provide spiritual guidance and celebrate God’s glory with love, insight, and humor. There is community to feel included and outreach to feel of service. Life is full of blessings and loss and mystery, and the church provides the place to contemplate it all on the path to peace. – Susan Learman
For us it’s “home!” The church has nourished our family by guiding us through the rituals of spiritual as well as everyday life – creating space and support for baptisms, weddings, and funerals; providing ways to give our time and gifts to the community; offering myriad educational opportunities to better understand our Episcopal faith and the teachings of the Bible; and allowing us to come and go as life requires us, while always welcoming us back “home.” – Kristen and Jim Goran
The church is such a blessing in my life. The services, sermons, small groups, as well as outreach opportunities have afforded me the opportunity to be truly connected to an amazing community. I felt especially blessed this past summer as my daughter was hospitalized with some significant health issues and members of the congregation reached out to me with calls, cards, texts, visits, offers for meals and flowers and consistent prayers. I truly felt the power of God’s love and community during a very challenging time for our family, and I’m grateful and blessed for so many individuals in the congregation that reached out, some of whom I didn’t even know well, to show His love. – Steven Tyshka
