Jen Enriquez

Director of Children & Youth Ministry

I am passionate about exploring what it means to be a follower of Jesus in the world today. To this end, I created Peace Camp for kids in 2017, and in 2021 developed a way to talk with children and adults about racism through the lens of faith. I am an attorney by formal education and have pursued multiple opportunities to enhance my call to lay ministry. My family includes husband Tony, middle schoolers Eddie and Luke, plus 3 wiener dogs. I love to get my hands dirty in my garden in my spare time.

Christa Creps

Musician for Children & Families

I am a classically trained singer who started my career singing opera and ended up touring the world in my punk rock folk band Puerto Muerto. We were small but mighty. After my son was born, I stopped touring but met many interesting people at my meal program “Community Dinners” which I started in 2013. I have always been passionate about building community because it is such a vital part of our spiritual growth.

Welcome Life Events Children & Youth Leadership The Episcopal Church

We look forward to welcoming you to St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church, an open and affirming congregation in the worldwide Anglican Communion.

We pray that you will find here the love that is Christ’s law – love that bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things – knowing that God’s love is bigger than anything we can ask or imagine.

In the Episcopal Church, we call holy life events sacraments. We acknowledge that God is present in every occasion of our lives. Some of these we mark together with special celebrations of worship to highlight the ways in which God is always at work throughout our life’s eventss. As Episcopalians, we believe that these observations reveal God's grace to us in new ways and call them sacramental.

Baptism Confirmation/Reception Marriage Burial

We have created a Sunday morning for Children and Families beginning with worship at 9:30AM. Then, immediately following snack, the young people participate in the Whole People of God lectionary-based Sunday School curriculum, so that everyone in the church is reflecting on the same scripture. Children engage the themes and stories of the day in our 9:30 worship. Art, activities like acting out the story, and music reinforce what happens in worship.

In the Episcopal Church the people of God, ordained through baptism, are to be ministers of Jesus wherever they live, work, and play. The Priest is the pastor to the people who proclaims the gospel; administers the sacraments; and blesses and declares pardon in the name of God.

Supporting the Ministers of God are the Staff and Vestry. The Rector is elected by a vestry with the bishop‘s approval.

Meet Our Leadership

We as Episcopalians believe in a loving, liberating, and life-giving God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. St. Paul's is part of the Episcopal Church, a church that is both rich with ancient tradition and relevant to life in the 21st century. We believe that God loves you - no exceptions.

We believe in following the teachings of Jesus Christ, whose life, death, and resurrection saved the whole world.
