Christ Church’s mission is: “As Christ does, we will.” Christ Episcopal has been serving the Dover community since 1734, making it one of the oldest congregations in the state. The church has a rich history and has played a significant role in the religious and cultural life of the Dover community. The current church building, constructed in the Gothic Revival style, dates to the mid-19th century and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The church's architecture features beautiful stained-glass windows, a towering spire, and intricate stone carvings, reflecting the craftsmanship of the era. 

Christ Church is known for its welcoming and inclusive community, embracing people from all walks of life. The church offers a variety of worship services, music, and outreach activities such as their Blessings Box, recovery meetings, Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing meals, and tours to serve its members and the broader community. Overall, Christ Church of Dover stands as a beacon of faith, compassion, and community spirit, continuing to inspire and uplift all who come through its doors and live in the surrounding area.

Christ Church is thrilled to announce the grand unveiling of its newly renovated Parish Hall, marking a significant milestone in the enhancement of its community outreach efforts. The Parish Hall has undergone a comprehensive transformation to better serve the needs of its congregation and the broader community. In addition to serving as a gathering space for church activities and events, the renovated Parish Hall will also be available to rent for public organizations and individuals seeking a versatile venue for meetings, receptions, and other celebratory gatherings.

The Christ Church leadership and congregation are excited to step into this new era for the history of one of Dover’s oldest churches to still exist today.
