Who we are
We are a church of the Great Command,the Great Commission and The Great Tradition.
The Great Command & The Great Commission
Jesus said, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first and Great Commandment, and the second is like it: you shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
“Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And lo, I am with you always, even to the ends of the earth.”
For over 2,000 years now, the Church has had one, simple calling: to know Christ and to make him known.
This, in sum, is the Great Command and the Great Commission.
The Great Tradition
Our Anglican worship service is based on the Book of Common Prayer that was first compiled in 1549 by Thomas Cranmer. While the Book of Common Prayer has since undergone many revisions, it is still acknowledged as one of the ties that bind the Anglican Communion together. Our service today is based on the Book of Common Prayer of 1662.
We are a local, regional and global church.
Locally, we serve the southwest area of Fort Worth and we are part of the Fort Worth diocese, which consists of about 60 churches. The Rt. Rev. Jack Iker is our Bishop.
Regionally, we belong to Anglican Church of North America (ACNA). The Anglican Church in North America unites 132,000 Anglicans in 1,004 congregations across the United States, Canada, and Mexico into a single Church. On April 16, 2009, ACNA was recognized as a province of the global Anglican Communion, by the Primates of the Global Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans. The Most Rev. Dr. Foley Beach is our Archbishop of the Church.
Globally, we are part of the Anglican Communion, which has 80 million members in over 165 countries. We are a great big family. And, that’s just what our heavenly Father wants us to be – brothers and sisters in Christ, from every tongue, tribe, and nation around the world. And so we are. Like every family, we have our joys, and we have our struggles. Yet, we are ultimately bound by the Christian Faith and Order given to us by our Lord in Scripture.
What we believe:
We believe the Bible is the inspired word of God. It contains all things necessary for our salvation, and is the basis of our belief and practice. We believe the Sacraments are given to us by Jesus Christ our Lord as outward and visible signs of his grace given to us inwardly. We believe the Holy Spirit is given to us at Baptism for our sanctification, with gifts and charisms necessary for the work of ministry in our daily life and living.
why we are here
We gather every Sunday morning to celebrate the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, who himself rose from the grave early in the morning on the first day of the week, for the forgiveness of our sins and the hope of everlasting life.
What to expect on Sundays...
Whether you are new to church or haven’t been for a long time, you are most welcome at Christ the Redeemer. Here is some of what to expect on a Sunday morning.
First, please come as you are. From suits to sandals, we want you to feel at home with us. Second, when you come in our doors, you will be greeted by one of our members. They can help you locate the nursery, grab a cup of coffee, and find your way around our parish home.
Also, children are welcome in church. But, if you prefer, we have a nursery with at least 2 trained staff. You are welcome to bring your child in at any point during the service. Many parents bring them during Communion, when they may be blessed by one of our priests.
...and what to expect at our worship service.
To get you started, there are two basic things you will want to know about our worship service. FIRST, our worship service is highly participatory! Together, we sing, pray, read Scripture, hear a message that applies to our daily lives, take communion, and are charged to go and make disciples of all nations! SECOND, we do these things because this is what the Church has always done! Our worship service is taken directly from what Jesus said to the 12 apostles: "Do this in remembrance of me."
Of course, so much more could be said about the beauty and depth of our worship service, but the best way is to “come and see” for yourself!

Christ the Redeemer Anglican Church History
Planting a church called Christ the Redeemer...
In 2008, Fr. Chris, with several of us - families and individuals, heard the call to plant a church. None of us had planted a church before but it was something we felt God wanted us to do. So with the knowledge that 12 men had done so 2,000 years ago with the faith of Christ and the strength of the Holy Spirit, that is exactly what we did. We met in homes, offices, under a tent...wherever we found space, we worshiped God. As our church family grew, so was the need for a regular place to worship. So God provided space at Lockheed Martin Recreational Center and so began the journey of worshiping every Sunday in one location....
Worshiping at LMRA....
LMRA, Lockheed Martin Recreational Association, is not the typical place that you might expect a traditional Anglican service to take place, but for a number of years it is exactly where CTR held its services. In a small ballroom to begin with, volunteers, of all ages, would arrive at LMRA and transform the small ballroom into our Anglican church. It did not take long before we out grew the space and with great joy, we moved into the larger ballroom. 'Mass on the Grass' became a thing and after church, our kids had fun playing outside or helping the adults transform the church back into a ballroom.
It was a joyful time but it soon became apparent to all that a more permanent solution was needed. Reluctant to move, the need became real when LMRA was sold to a developer. God provided once more with our current location in the shopping center just down the street.
...now at our current home
Transforming a commercial space into a worship space was a challenge but with God's guidance anything is possible! Before walls were painted and the carpet laid, our members wrote scripture verses on the floor that leads to the altar. The area was prayed over, and then the work began. An altar was built, chairs were assembled, rooms were created. Then in 2013 on All Saints Day, we held our first service in our new home. Since then, our church family has grown from the original group of about a dozen people, to a vibrant congregation of over 200. Since 2008, we have commissioned people to go out in mission as far as Cambodia and Northern Malawi, and we have also sent people out to serve our local and regional communities.
and our vision.....
In the beginning of our story, a group of people had a vision to follow Jesus and plant the church called Christ the Redeemer. That vision is the same today as it was then, our vision is God's vision:
“Thy Kingdom Come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven”
When Jesus taught his disciples how to pray, he said, “Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” So, this is our vision statement at CTR. First and foremost, it is God’s own vision. And, we at CTR only want what God has in mind for us.
So now ten years later, we continue to walk by faith as we obey God's Great Command, follow His Great Commission and worship in the Great Tradition.
