Christ Church

Christ Church is an Episcopal church building in Stevensville, Maryland, constructed in Queen Anne style with a wooden frame and traditional architectural elements. The structure is located on East Main Street and displays the design characteristics typical of colonial-era parish churches on the Eastern Shore.

The church was established in 1632 as one of the original Anglican parishes in the Province of Maryland. Over the centuries, the congregation relocated six times to different sites, reflecting how population growth and community expansion shaped the region.

The building stands in the heart of Stevensville and shows the religious traditions of the Eastern Shore community, where people have gathered for worship for centuries. The wooden structure and its simple interior reflect how the congregation valued function over decoration in their approach to faith.

The church occupies a central location in Stevensville that is easy to find and access on foot. Visitors should check service times before visiting if they wish to enter the building and see the interior.

The church operates Camp Wright near Matapeake as a summer retreat for the Episcopal Diocese of Easton, offering a connection between the parish and youth programs that extends far beyond Sunday worship. This camp has served multiple generations of families from across the region.
