Welcome to
Christ Church Coronado
The Episcopal Church is committed to inclusivity, reflecting God’s love for all people by being loving, liberating, and life-giving. Guided by scripture, tradition, and reason, we invite everyone to experience a relationship with Jesus through liturgy, scripture, and community. We believe God loves you just as you are, and so do we. No matter where you are on your spiritual journey, you will find a welcoming, affirming place at Christ Church—because everybody needs a place, and we invite you to make this one yours.
Love and be loved
Our mission as stated in the Book of Common Prayer’s catechism, is “to restore all people to unity with God and each other in Christ.” In step with that mission, The Episcopal Church follows Jesus into loving, liberating, and life-giving relationships with God, with each other, and with the earth.
Join us this Sunday to experience the warmth and guidance of our faith family.
Everyone is welcome here, where love and community meet faith and inspiration.

The Revised Common Lectionary is a three-year cycle of weekly readings used by the vast majority of mainline Protestant churches in Canada and the United States. The RCL is built around the seasons of the Church Year and includes four readings for each Sunday, as well as additional readings for major feast days. During most of the year, the readings are a reading from the Old Testament, a Psalm, a reading from the Epistles, and a Gospel reading. During the season of Easter, the Old Testament selection is usually replaced with one from the Acts of the Apostles. The Old Testament verses are sometimes chosen from the Apocrypha.
The seasons of the Church Year reflect the life of Christ. Consequently, the gospels provide the focus for that day, although this is not always the case. In Ordinary Time, the Revised Common Lectionary offers two sets of readings for the lessons from the Old Testament.
Sunday readings
The gospel readings for each year come from one of the synoptic gospels according to the following pattern:
Year A - Matthew
Year B - Mark
Year C - Luke
Christ Church follows the Revised Common Lectionary
At the 8 a.m. Sunday Morning Holy Eucharist, you can expect the worship to be quiet and prayerful. The 10 a.m. Sunday Morning Holy Eucharist is more vibrant with a full choir. Afterwards, we meet for fellowship and refreshments in the courtyard.
For the first-time visitor, our liturgy may be exhilarating--and confusing. We pray with our entire selves, and so worship involves standing, sitting, kneeling, sung and/or spoken responses, and other participatory elements that may be new for you. Feel free to join in the service as you feel comfortable. The bulletin you’ll receive when you come in contains most everything you’ll need to participate, including page numbers for the hymns and portions of the service from The Book of Common Prayer.
While our worship is directed towards loving God, and our outreach is directed towards loving our neighbors, we also value the relationships we have within our own parish family. A sense of belonging, feeling connected, and loving and caring for one another is a large part of who we are and what makes Christ Episcopal Church Coronado feel special.
After worship, stop by the welcome desk.
If you have time after worship, please introduce yourself to one of our friends at the welcome desk, located outside in the Courtyard. The folks at the welcome desk are members of Christ Church who enjoy getting to know newcomers and helping them with any needs they may have.

When the love of Christ dwells in the heart of a parish, there are no bounds to what God can accomplish. Here, at Christ Episcopal Church, we’ve long witnessed God’s loving handiwork – in our Sunday worship, in our close fellowship, in our Parish Day School ministry, and in the many ways this parish serves as God’s loving hands.
With our Live Stream option, it has broadened the scope and reach of our worship and Christian formation offerings, so that there are opportunities for worship, prayer, formation, and fellowship both in-person and from afar.
