Rest
Rejoice
Renew
Christ the Servant Anglican Church is a community of welcoming and compassionate disciples of Jesus who seek to rest in the Lord rejoice in God and participate in the renewal of all nations and all creation.
Our Church
Christ the Servant is a community of people seeking God's kingdom here in Rome as it is in heaven. We want to see our local communities participate in the reconciliation and healing of Jesus.
We meet in the South Rome Community Center in order to be a healing presence in a systemically marginalized community. The center is in a garden, a perfect place for us to rest, rejoice, and seek renewal (Isaiah 58:10–12). Right now, we gather on Sunday afternoons for evening prayer and a free, family-style dinner. We also have weekly small groups that anyone can be a part of!
We are a place where all are welcome, whether Christian or curious, single or a family, young or old. No matter your background or identity, we're excited to meet you and spend time with you.
Sundays at 4:00 PM
Rome, GA 30161

Common Questions about Christ the Servant:
Our Name
Christ the Servant highlights the way Christ lived, died, and still works his redemption as resurrected King. As his followers, we are to seek the good of others first and foremost. Philippians 2 illustrates this calling directly:
"Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross."
