About Us

Christ Church United Methodist...

is a 1200 member United Methodist congregation located in downtown Charleston, West Virginia at the edge of a historic part of town called "The East End."  Although we are a "downtown" church, recent study concluded that we are a "regional" church with some members traveling upwards of 60 miles round-trip to attend worship and church functions. 

Founded in 1804, Christ Church is one of the largest and oldest congregations in  the state of West Virginia.  In 2004 we celebrated our bicentennial.  To read about our history, click here.

The members of Christ Church come from all walks of life.  However, we are known for our outreach to the community as well as our passion for worship through music and the arts.  Many prominent citizens and community leaders, including past governors, call Christ Church their home.

The church opens its doors to use by the community on a daily basis.  On average, there are 6-8 daily meetings, many of them being non-church groups. You will never find the doors locked during business hours here at Christ Church.

If you would like to know more about Christ Church, please look through our extensive website and photo galleries.  You can also contact any staff member.  Email addresses can be found on the staff page.  The church office phone number is 304.342.0192.  Press extension #202 for the office secretary.
