Christ Episcopal Church

Christ Episcopal Church, Gothic church in Virginia, United States.

Christ Episcopal Church is the third building of a parish founded in 1738, designed by Robert Mills and completed in 1828. It stands in Winchester as the seat of Frederick Parish, Diocese of Virginia, and is the oldest church building in Frederick County still in continuous religious use. It is a contributing building in the local historic district.

Christ Church was founded in 1738, with its first vestry elected in 1742, and served as the seat of Frederick Parish, once covering half the Shenandoah Valley. The present building is the parish's third: Robert Mills, who also designed the Washington Monument, supplied the design, and it was completed in 1828. It is the oldest church building in continuous religious use in Frederick County.

Christ Church is the seat of Frederick Parish, created in 1738, whose vestry was elected in 1744 and whose boundaries once reached across half the Shenandoah Valley into what became West Virginia. The parish's first wooden church was raised in the 1740s; in 1752 the General Assembly dissolved the vestry for misusing £1,570 levied for chapels of ease. Christ Church is now one of five Anglican churches in Winchester, alongside St. Paul African Methodist Episcopal, founded in 1867.

The church stands in Winchester's historic district, a short walk from the Loudoun Street pedestrian mall. It is an active Episcopal parish, so visiting is easiest outside Sunday morning services; check the parish's current times before setting out. The building is the parish's third, completed in 1828.

Christ Church is the third building of a parish founded in 1738, and its architect Robert Mills also designed the Washington Monument and Monumental Church in Richmond. It is the oldest church building in Frederick County still in continuous religious use, and a contributing building to the local historic district, expanded three times since 1980.
