Welcome to Christ Church Episcopal.
We are an active parish located in historic Rugby, a Victorian Village in Tennessee, since 1880.
Christ Church welcomes and encourages you and your family to visit with us to enjoy a very special experience. Come and join us in worship and fellowship as we grow spritually just as members of Christ Church have been doing for more than 100 years! We are located in the historic Victorian village of Rugby, Tennessee. All seekers and believers are welcome.
