Our History

Christ Church's history dates back to 1869 at East 29th Street and Orange Avenue in Cleveland, when the congregation consisted mainly of German immigrants. In 1896, the church moved to 108th Street and Superior Avenue, and had become an English speaking parish. 

Since 1927, Christ Church has called Shaker Heights home. For 96 years, we have served our community with worship, outreach, pastoral care, Christian education and the arts. Christ Church celebrated its 150th anniversary of serving the greater Cleveland community in 2019.
