CHURCH HISTORY

In May 1879, a lot 50 X 112 feet was purchased from Mr. P.T. Barnum for $150. The value of the lot was $400, the concession in price being a gift to the church from Mr. Barnum.

Appeals for contributions to the building fund were sent our January 25, 1888 and by May 1888 $1800 had been received.

The church was opened for services on Trinity Sunday, June 3, 1888.

This undated photo (probably around 1900) shows the interior of the church with a choir loft, pipe organ and stained glass window.

By 1998 the exterior of the church had received a facelift. 

And by 1990, the Fellowship Hall had been added to the original building. This extension doubled the size of Christ Church and made the church handicapped accessible.

Christ Church interior has changed over the years. Here the church is decked out for Christmas.

 

Below the church is decorated for Easter.
