History of Christ Church. Following the Revolutionary War, the descendants of early settlers petitioned for a charter and were incorporated in 1808 as The Episcopal Church in Frederica, called Christ Church. The first church on the present location was erected in 1820 and they worshipped there until outbreak of the Civil War.

The Church was destroyed during the Civil War. The Rev. Anson Green Phelps Dodge, Jr. rebuilt Christ Church after the war in memory of his wife, Ellen.

Those sweet punches can put you in a world of hurt if you aren't careful.
