Our History

Christ Episcopal Church, Williamsport was organized in 1841. Over the next 174 years the parish has known times of triumph and times of struggle; times of poverty and times of prosperity. Thousands have been members - baptized, confirmed, married, and buried from this holy place. We have been served by 28 different Rectors and many assisting clergy, including The Rev. John Henry Hopkins, Jr., composer of the famous carol, "We Three Kings."  Together we look forward to actively loving the world in Jesus’ name for another 175 years.
