For the time being, Christ Presbyterian Church is holding public corporate worship services at the church building each Sunday at 8:45am and 10:15am, and at Bethany Chapel in Wheaton each Sunday at 5:15pm and 7:00pm. The services will be open to 42+8 people in each morning service and 42+8 people in each evening service, and advance registration is required. We will also live-stream the 10:15am worship service (proceed to the “Sermons” page of this website to access the live-stream). All other activities at the church building are temporarily suspended, as our church seeks to join in the prevention of the spread of the coronavirus.
