Welcome!
We are an Episcopal community open to all and supportive of one another. We invite you to visit with us in order to explore and experience the warmth of our church and congregation. Our Parish serves the Oxford Hills area of western Maine. The members of our church family live in the eight towns of the Oxford Hills, the surrounding communities and our seasonal visitors. We house the local food pantry and provide meeting space for a variety of community organizations. The Parish was founded in 1897 and has been offering a ministry of worship, education, outreach and pastoral care since that time. The church was designed by Bertram Grosvener Goodhue, who designed several buildings of note, including the West Point Military Academy Chapel, St. Bartholomew's Church, NYC, the Rockefeller Chapel at the University of Chicago. After many decades of ministry as a mission of the Episcopal Diocese of Maine, Christ Church became a Parish in 1974.

We're on Facebook!

Check our Facebook page regularly to stay up-to-date on everything going on in our parish.
We livestream the Sunday service most weeks for those who can't be with us in person.
