Christ Church

The first services held on the site that is now the home of Christ Church were held around 1736.  The fathers of Methodism in America–John & Charles Wesley first held services to the natives who lived on this island beneath an oak tree.  The first church building was built in 1820 but later destroyed by Union troops in the War Between the States.  It was rebuilt in 1884 by Anson Phelps Dodge in memory of his wife who died while on their honeymoon trip around the world.  It is easy to imagine picnic homecoming lunches under the trees here at Christ Church.

Christ Church is an Episcopal parish in the Episcopal Diocese of Georgia. Anglicanism has its roots in the Church of England, which spread around the world in the colonial period. Christ church has 3 services every Sunday 8, 9:15 & 11:15.  

Looking forward to visiting a service.
