Christ Evangelical Church is a friendly, family-oriented congregation with a long history here in Cape Girardeau.
The Bible is the center of our worship, study, and mission activities. We live in the creative tension of staying true to the Bible, our creeds, our historic confessions and catechisms, and our liberty of conscience. However, the Bible always comes first...and last! Jesus Christ is the head of the Church, our denomination, and of this congregation.
Our congregation has many traditions, including rolling dumplings and our annual apple butter making, and new traditions are being created all the time! Our congregation has a strong tradition of giving to mission and relief programs. We go to our denomination's Shannondale Community Center each fall and cut wood to heat the center and church, and participate in the Cape Ministerial Alliance and the Downtown Council of Churches.
Our worship is focused around God's Word, with Bible reading every Sunday. Our worship is traditional, with wonderful organ and piano music, and many favorite hymns. The Lord's Supper is served the first Sunday of every month and is open to all. Sunday school begins with a gathering devotional at 9:15 AM before classes at 9:30 AM. Worship services begin at 10:35.
Come visit us this Sunday!
