VISION: The Foundation for Historic Christ Church strives to function as a model of excellence among stewards of National Historic Landmarks by: sharing its knowledge broadly with the general public and scholars; welcoming local, national and international visitors; utilizing current technology and media; and preserving the site as a place of beauty, inspiration and interment.
Established in 1958 by concerned volunteers who recognized the importance of Christ Church, the Foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit, non-denominational organization dedicated to preservation, education, and research. The Foundation is the governing body of Historic Christ Church & Museum, which is the name of the site.

Our board members invite you to join them and make a difference today and for generations to come.
