About Christ Church The community of Chatham dates back to 1793 when Lieutenant John Graves Simcoe was exploring the southwestern frontier. The actual construction of residential buildings began in the early 1800’s. In 1819 a small wooden church with a single spire was built on Gaol Street (today’s Stanley Avenue) on the banks of the Thames River. It was named St. Paul’s Church.The present church property of Christ Church on Wellington St. was purchased for $1482 and the church was completed at a cost of $8000. At the official opening, in 1861, on the recommendation of Bishop Cronyn, the new church was renamed Christ Church. As a continuing congregation, Christ Church is one of the oldest Anglican places of worship between Niagara-on-the-Lake, and the Pacific Ocean. Christ Church Chatham is committed to providing a safe environment that offers a diverse worship experience, ranging from traditional to contemporary, appealing to both young and old alike. We strive to maintain a welcoming community where people from all walks of life can come and grow in their spiritual journey, through worship, Christian Education, outreach and pastoral care. As part of the Diocese of Huron, which is the second largest diocese in the Anglican Church of Canada, Christ Church Chatham is situated in the Archdeaconry of Lambton-Kent, and Deanery of Kent in Southwestern Ontario.
