Each episode covers a different topic, such as baptism, communion, and the liturgical calendar. Chuck and Sister Mary Agnes explain the history and meaning behind these topics in an easy-to-understand way. They also give examples of how these practices are carried out in different churches.

The show is not just limited to the United Methodist Church; it covers topics that are relevant to all Christian denominations. Chuck Knows Church is not meant to be a replacement for going to church, but rather a supplement to help people understand more about the church and its practices.
