Christ Anglican Church
Lion's Head, Ontario

The site for Christ Church was purchased in 1882 and in January of the following year 30,000 ft. of hemlock and hardwoods was cut and hauled, ready to go to mill when the ice broke up.   The foundation stone was laid on May 3rd, 1883.   One carpenter, one stone mason and volunteer labour constructed the entire church, of frame construction on a stone foundation.  

Two gales in 1913 threatened the church with ruin.   A gale on Good Friday swept across Lake Huron from a westerly direction and leaned the church to the east.   The Great Storm of November 9, 1913 came in from the east and leaned the church to the west.   That gale lasted 3 days and in the Great Lakes region destroyed a total of 19 vessels and resulted in the stranding of 19 others, with a loss of 244 lives.   The large rose window was destroyed and most of the windows blown out.   Christ Church was left with the west end of the building in an unsafe condition.   The building remained in this condition for eight years, until Willing Workers, an organization within the church raised sufficient funds to start brick veneering the church building.

Christ Church is it's people.   It seeks to be responsive to the needs of the people of God who call this area home, and who come here seeking spiritual refreshment.   Join us in discovering the riches of God's grace, regardless of your church affiliation.
