Our Community: 
Christ Church Christiana Hundred is a vibrant, inclusive, and welcoming Episcopal faith community, engaged in God's work to bring all people into a loving, liberating, and life-giving relationship with Jesus Christ.

Our Mission:
Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, Christ Church welcomes you into a loving and joyful community that serves others and seeks to grow deeper in relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

Our History:
Christ Church is one of four congregations that began in the Brandywine Manufacturers' Sunday School, supported by the leaders of industry early in the 19th century. As Wilmington's industry grew beside the river, so did Christ Church. The parish was often referred to as the church of the du Ponts or the DuPont Company church. Their practice of quiet generosity built the church and established its primary ministry in the holiness of worship, the education of children, and the care of those in need. Now our members come from far and wide, bringing a richly diverse set of gifts and talents. Our preschool, founded in 2006, carries one element from our early roots to a new generation, gathering children for education and sharing with them the Good News of God's love. Like the rings that mark the growth of a tree and the new branches that spread shade ever more widely, the next generation of members in ministry will contribute to our stability and will spread the serenity of God's peace here beside the river and out into the larger world.
