Welcome to the beautiful and historic Christ Church established in the mid nineteenth century on the ridge of Montefiore Hill overlooking the city of Adelaide. The determination of the pioneering church-going residents of North Adelaide to hold services in their own place or worship led the women of the district to start a building fund in 1841, but it was not until the arrival of the first bishop, Doctor Augustus Short, in 1848 that construction work was started. What you see today are many of the original features of the first building with extensions and embellishments added throughout the years. Together with its Rectory and neighbouring Bishop's Court, it forms one of the most significant heritage precincts of Adelaide. There are several magnificent stained-glass windows and a tranquil memorial garden. Please take your time to absorb the timeless peace of Christ Church where worshippers have sought spiritual strength for over 150 years. Today's congregation is strong in its commitment to the living faith and will ensure that the life of our church is relevant to the present time and adaptable to the needs of future generations of Christian worshippers. The church is among the few open daily, enabling residents and visitors to spend time in quietness and prayer. You are invited to join us in Sunday worship, or to visit the church during the week: you will be very welcome. Services are taken from the Book of Common Prayer. Services: 8am Sunday Holy Communion. 10am Sung Eucharist. 5pm Evening Prayer (informal). 10.30am Thursday Holy Communion (inside Chapel).
