Join Us
Everyone is welcome at our weekly Sunday services at 9:30am. Membership is not necessary; we love visitors!
Our weekly service includes traditional and modern music, Episcopal based liturgy, prayer, meaningful sermons, and wonderful fellowship. Worshipers can participate however they desire. We truly accept all, as they are, in our Church home.
Our New Resident Priest
We are excited to welcome Reverend Paul Ehling as our resident priest.
Rev. Paul comes to the priesthood after 34 years in education as a teacher and an administrator. Paul’s theological studies include Bexley Seabury Seminary in Chicago, Illinois, Church Divinity School of the Pacific Seminary in Berkley, California, and the School for Formation with the Episcopal Church of Minnesota. Rev. Paul was ordained to the priesthood in 2022 and has been serving as a supply priest for Christ Episcopal Church until being appointed the Vicar in October of 2024. Rev. Paul says “we all serve God in the various places in our lives – work, home, school – I am overjoyed and blessed to be serving God as the priest for Christ Episcopal Church here in Old Frontenac.
Wakondiota Hillside Chapel
Starting the summer of 2022, our Sunday services are held outdoors at our new Wakondiota Hillside Chapel. Wakondiota, a Dakota Indian word for, “a sacred space created by the cutting of many trees”, reflects our spiritually-rich, historical community.
All are welcome to experience worship in God’s glorious nature near the Mississippi River. We have ample seating; come as you are and enjoy hearing God’s word with majestic views. It is awesome!
Watch our events for more information on service dates. Weather updates will be posted on Facebook.
