About Us

Christ Church, King and Queen Parish, part of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, has served the ministry of Christ's work in the world for more than 300 years.  Founded by colonists both fearless and reverent who established roots that group deep into the traditions of this land, our church community believes that we are called to be people of prayer, dedicated to proclaiming a lively faith in God, and service to others in the name of Christ.

Consisting of approximately 300 members, the church congregation strives to live by the message and lessons of Christ, in which there are no outcasts and all are welcome.  Our congregation represents a diverse cross-section of society, consisting of persons of all backgrounds, ages, income levels, and spiritual enlightenment.

The Episcopal Church itself walks a middle line between Roman Catholicism and Protestant traditions.  We are a sacramental, worship-oriented church that promotes thoughtful debate about what God is calling us to do and be, as followers of Christ.  We take great pride in our church worship services and consider them to be the focal point of our Christian life.

Today the Church's quiet beauty bears witness to the devotion of many generations who have cherished and supported Christ Church, Chaptico, and who left us their legacy of faith and fellowship.
