About Christ Church Selkirk

Christ Church has served the community of Selkirk since 1887.

Christ Church is located at 227 McLean Ave in Selkirk, at the site of the original church. The original church was demolished in 2000, and the new church was completed in 2001 – we’ve been here ever since.

We gratefully acknowledge that we reside on Treaty 1, 2 and 3 land, in the heart of the Métis nation. We are proud to belong to the Diocese of Rupert’s Land, one of twenty-nine diocese within the Anglican Church of Canada, stretching from the Pacific to the Atlantic Oceans, as well as to the north.

Our church service and Sunday school is at 9:30 am with refreshments and fellowship to follow.

We are a “traditional” Anglican Church offering a variety of Sunday Services, such as Morning Prayer, Holy Communion and Service of the Word. Our children enjoy Sunday school classes from the Whole People of God curriculum.

Christ Church supports many community programmes including the Food Bank, Our Daily Bread Soup Kitchen, Meals on Wheels and The Selkirk and District Community Foundation. Our Christmas Christingle Service supports local children’s charities including School Breakfast programmes, the Make a Wish Foundation and has contributed to buying books for the children’s section of the Gaynor Family Regional Library.

PWRDF, our global outreach programme, connects Anglicans in Canada to communities around the world to advance development, to respond to emergencies, to assist refugees and to provide humanitarian relief and to advocate for human rights and world peace.

Our parish hall is regularly used by the Red River Churches Refugee Team, Nova House, Al-Anon and other community groups in need of outreach services.

We extend a warm welcome to all who enter into our place of worship.

Mission Statement of the Diocese of Rupert’s Land

We, the parishioners and clergy of the Diocese of Rupert’s Land, uphold and foster the living Anglican tradition with the worship of Jesus Christ at our centre. As faithful stewards of all our resources, we act together to ensure that parishes are equipped and supported, through leadership, resources, education, and pastoral oversight, to carry out their mission and ministry at the local level. We seek to nurture relationships between parishes; between parishes and the diocesan structure; and between parishes and national/international partnerships. We work to coordinate appropriate diocesan responses to identified needs in the local community and the world around us.
