What Christ Church Anglican does

Christ Church Anglican is a single-site Anglican parish located at 4770 Reno Drive in Columbus, Ohio, serving individuals and families in the greater Columbus metropolitan area who seek traditional Anglican worship. Founded in 1988 under the leadership of Rector Rt. Rev. Wale Fafiade, the church conducts weekly Holy Communion services on Saturdays at 5:00 PM and Sundays at 10:00 AM, with Morning Prayer on the fourth Sunday and concurrent Sunday School for children. Liturgy is drawn from the 1928 Book of Common Prayer and the 1940 Hymnal, and the parish also offers the traditional sacraments of baptism, confirmation, marriage, and Christian burial, along with pastoral guidance from ordained clergy.

The church is a member congregation of the Episcopal Missionary Church (EMC), a continuing Anglican denomination formed in 1992 after the Missionary Diocese withdrew from the Episcopal Church in the United States of America over theological differences. Christ Church Anglican operates under the EMC's Diocese of the East, with Rt. Rev. Wale Fafiade serving as Bishop Ordinary. A second priest, Rev. Santosh Madanu, joined the parish in 2022 and formally transferred from the Roman Catholic Church to the EMC in 2024.

Christ Church Anglican is a private nonprofit religious organization with no public ticker and no disclosed financial figures. Revenue is generated through voluntary tithes and offerings from congregants, the standard funding model for a parish of this type. The church reaches prospective and current members through community word-of-mouth, a basic informational website (christchurchanglican.org), a Facebook page, and an email newsletter signup. The organization has no proprietary technology products, no AI capabilities, no subsidiaries, and no M&A or funding activity.
