Christ Church, Bong Bong, Anglican church building in Bong Bong, Australia

Christ Church is a sandstock brick building on stone foundations, cement rendered and painted white, with a covered entrance on the north side and a tower. It stands in a churchyard with a cemetery on a hill above the Wingecarribee River, on the outskirts of Moss Vale. Inside are Australian cedar pews, an oak pulpit, a brass lectern and stained glass windows.

Charles Throsby gave land at Bong Bong for a church, burial ground and parsonage, and construction began early in 1845 to plans John Verge had prepared in 1837. Throsby paid £701 for the building, which Bishop William Broughton dedicated and consecrated in 1845. Betsey Throsby funded interior work in 1884, and the church marked its centenary in 1945 and 150 years in 1995.

The church functions as an active Anglican gathering place where the local community celebrates weddings, baptisms, and funerals together. These ceremonies have woven the building into the fabric of life for families across many generations.

The church stands on a hill above the Wingecarribee River on Bong Bong Road, now on the outskirts of Moss Vale. The cemetery is split into an Anglican section and a Presbyterian section, separated by a light steel and concrete fence. The site is near Throsby Park estate.

Beneath the church lies a crypt built for the Throsby family that was never used for a burial. In 1945, 17 Bhutan cypresses were planted in two rows in the grounds, one for each of Charles and Betsey Throsby's children; the trees still stand. About 30 Throsbys are buried in the adjoining cemetery.
