About

Christ the King Episcopal Church in Alpine worships in the liturgical tradition of the Book of Common Prayer at 1460 Midway Drive, where Rev. Canon Dr. Bill Schwartz leads sacramental services celebrating all seven Episcopal sacraments. The parish hosts weddings and memorial ceremonies that draw out-of-town guests to Alpine, with event-weekend accommodations available at Ayres Lodge Alpine on Tavern Road less than a mile east. A pre-service education hour invites parishioners to explore church history, doctrine, and Biblical interpretation, while the Music of the Masters concert series brings chamber performances with violin, flute, guitar, and harp into the sanctuary. The inclusive, family-oriented congregation describes itself as a community rejoicing in the diversity of God's creation, with Midway Drive's setting connecting the church to the Alpine Blvd bakery corridor anchored by Steph's Donut Hole where parishioners gather after worship. The sanctuary's sacramental infrastructure supports Eucharistic celebration at a fixed altar with baptismal font and lectern configured for the Anglican Rite I and Rite II liturgical formats.
