Welcome to Christ Church

Christ Church, an Episcopal church designed by James Wren in the colonial Georgian style and completed by John Carlyle in 1773, has welcomed people of many faiths, including most U.S. Presidents, members of Congress, Supreme Court Justices, civic leaders, and tourists. Among those who have worshipped there are Winston Churchill, Rosa Parks, and Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and it was the home church of George Washington and Robert E. Lee. Originally built in a wooded location, Christ Church now stands in the heart of the City of Alexandria and offers global and local outreach and mission programs focused on social justice, along with worship, prayer, Christian education, community service, and quiet reflection in its churchyard.
