Christ Church was planted in Chandler, Arizona, in 2012 by Lead Pastor Adam Bailie as Harvest Bible Chapel Chandler. In the past twelve years, God has allowed us to grow from a small core team to a church family with over 4,000 people at Christ Church each weekend across four locations.

We operate in a multi-congregation model where each location has live worship and live preaching, most of the weekends, supported by the collective effort of the whole to carry out the mission and to make great the name of Jesus throughout the Phoenix area.
