We are friends of Christ Church, Christiana Manchester: Help Us Restore Our 135-Year-Old Church After Hurricane Melissa

For over 135 years, our beloved church has stood as a place of worship, refuge, and community, a sacred space where generations have prayed, celebrated milestones, found comfort in times of loss, and strengthened their faith.

Sadly, Hurricane Melissa caused significant damage to our historic building. The storm compromised parts of the roof and structure, damaged interiors, and left us facing urgent repairs that are well beyond what our small congregation can manage on its own.

This church is more than bricks and mortar. It is a living testament to faith, resilience, and service, a cornerstone of our community for over a century and a half.

We are reaching out with humble hearts to ask for your support.

How Your Donation Helps

Every contribution will go directly toward:

• Emergency roof and structural repairs

• Restoration of damaged interiors

• Electrical and water damage remediation

• Preservation of this historic place of worship

• Ensuring the church is safe and usable again for services and community outreach

No gift is too small. Every dollar brings us closer to reopening our doors and continuing our mission.

Please Consider Supporting and Sharing

If you are unable to donate, we kindly ask that you share this page with friends, family, and your wider network. Your prayers, encouragement, and support mean just as much.

Together, we can rebuild not just a building but a spiritual home that has served faithfully for 150 years.

Thank you for standing with us during this difficult time. May God richly bless you for your generosity.
