HISTORY & HERITAGE

An old church.
A continuing story.

Organized in 1820, Christ Church is Mississippi's oldest Episcopal congregation. The present Gothic Revival church, built in 1857–1858, remains a place of worship and community.

Preserving this place is also a commitment to its future: the people who gather, the traditions we share, and the welcome we extend.
