Christ Church United Methodist

Founded in 1804, Christ Church United Methodist is a 1250 member United Methodist congregation located in downtown Charleston, West Virginia at the edge of a historic part of town called "The East End." Although we are a "downtown" church, recent study concluded that we are a "regional" church with some members traveling upwards of 90 miles round-trip to attend worship and church functions. The average age of the congregation is 50 years of age.

We offer three Sunday worship services: a 'contemporary' service at 9:00am, and traditional services at 9:45 and 11:00am.

The main church, dedicated in 1911, was destroyed in a fire in 1969. All that remained was the Gothic bell tower and the Christian education building, which contains an architecturally traditional chapel. The main worship space called a "Centrum" (designed by renowned church architect Ed Sovik) was completed in 1973 and combines both modern and traditional architectural elements.
