On Sunday, September 20, 2020, Christ Presbyterian Church dedicated its new church building on Sisk Avenue in East Oxford. The Biblical themes of building and cornerstone unveil a beautiful image of how God works in and through actual buildings, showing us the nature of the building Jesus is presently building in the heavenly places.
