Description

PLEASE, NO invitations or self promotions, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks.

Christ Church was built in 1837. The land for the church and the financial support for its construction were given to the Church of England congregation of Moulinette by Adam Dixson, a wealthy, local miller. The first service conducted in the church, before it was actually completed, was for his wife's funeral, and within a year, his own funeral service had also taken place.

Inside are plain wooden box pews, which in the early days, were rented by the parishioners. The rear pews and those in the back gallery, were free. The church has a melodeon, a reed organ built in 1862 by Samuel Warren of Montreal. There is no cross in the church and no candles on the altar; such things were unacceptable to this congregation in the 1860s.

Like many community institutions, the church was a meeting place for families, and for young people seeking a partner. People were baptized, married and buried all in one location. In pioneer times, a strong religious faith helped settlers cope with the harsh realities of life in a new land.
