In 1882 the site was purchased for the building of Christ Church. In January of 1883 cutting and hauling of 30,000 ft. of hemlock and hardwoods took place, ready to go to mill when the ice broke up.
The foundation stone was laid on May 3rd, 1883. One carpenter, one stone mason and volunteer labour constructed the entire church. The church was built of frame construction on a stone foundation and exhibits good taste in architecture.

In 1913 the church was threatened with ruin. A devastating gale on Good Friday swept across the Great 
lakes from a westerly direction and leaned the church to the East.  The gale on November the 9th of 1913 came in from the East.  That gale wrecked many ships on the Great Lakes and leaned the church to the west.  It left the structure in very poor condition.  The large rose window was destroyed, most of the windows blown out and the West end of the building was left in an unsafe condition.  The building remained in this condition for eight years, until Willing Workers, an organization within the church raised sufficient funds to start brick veneering the church building.

 A church is also it's people of yesterday and today, Christ Church has always had a strong congregation of fine people.  The Bruce Peninsula continues to attract seasonal and permanent residents intrigued by the beauty and spirit of the area. The Anglican Churches of the Peninsula seek to be responsive to the needs of the people of God who call this area home, and who come here seeking spiritual refreshment.
