"I have noticed that when I sit by the sea, the rhythm of the water rushing in and out from the shore begins to have a wonderful effect on me. Any stress I am feeling begins to dissipate with each wave, as if the waves them self are carrying away the stress. My mind is left free and clear.

Christ Church by the Sea has always had the same peaceful and energizing effect on me. Whatever I bring through the door on Sunday is transformed and I leave centered and refreshed. In addition, At Christ Church by the Sea I have found a strong sense of community, something that fosters resiliency and purpose in my life. This is why I come to the Sea."  - Diana Dessery Hensley, M.S.
