This former Anglican church is still being used as a church of a different faith. The exterior does appear to need some light maintenance.

From the website:
Christ Anglican Church was designed in the High Victorian Gothic church style using local white brick. It displays many features typical of this style. These features include a hip roof, lancet windows, which are fitted with wooden hood moulds and sills, and arched gothic transoms above the double wooden doors on the façade and the south elevation. Also of note are the gables on the façade and north elevation, which sit on top of a raised brick frieze and are topped with white stone caps.
The Wellington Street façade of Christ Anglican Church is divided into three distinct sections, based on the positioning of the lancet windows, gable and buttresses. This division echoes that of the nave and side aisles in the interior of the church. Similarly, the alignment of the buttresses on the north and south elevations correspond structurally with the columns inside the church.
The interior of Christ Anglican Church is comprised of wide pointed arches, elegant octagonal shaped slim wooden columns, and exposed and ornamented wooden brackets and roof beams. The chancel is shallow and features a magnificent pointed arch, a gallery, a staircase and three stained glass windows, thought to date back to 1863. These portray religiously significant geometric and floral patterns. The Parish Hall was added to the church in 1879, and was designed in the same style and utilized similar materials as the original structure.
