Congregation finds a new church home

MONTGOMERY -- When Judy Stewart worshipped with ChristChurch on Sunday, she was able to sit in pews, kneel during prayers and worship inside a traditional church building.

She was having church service in Dexter Avenue United Methodist Church for the first Sunday instead of at St. James United Methodist school.

An agreement between ChristChurch and Dexter Avenue United Methodist Church allows both congregations to worship in the same building.

"I think we have been so blessed to come to this point," Stewart said. "We have been kind of patient. This is just the answer to prayers."

ChristChurch is a congregation that formed after members of Church of the Ascension split from the national Episcopalian church because they felt the church had deviated from the authority of scripture. Instead, the group decided to become Anglican.
