Welcome to Moscow!Between 2020 and 2025, the membership of Christ Church and its daughter and sister congregations in Moscow, Idaho, has doubled from 1,500 to 3,000. While this has been a tremendous blessing, such growth does not come without growing pains. From November 2022 through April 2025, Pastor Douglas Wilson included a feature titled Tips for Acclimatizing in his weekly pastoral email to the congregation. He eventually published 101 tips aimed to help newcomers get up to speed with the culture and practices of the church. We have collected those tips in this book, given them a light edit, and organized them into categories for more convenient use as a reference. While some tips are specific to the community in Moscow, others are applicable in any context, and they provide a glimpse of kirker life for anyone who is curious.
