The foundation stone of Christ Church was laid June 1854 and the Church was consecrated in December 1855. The Church was built by Callow and Looney to a design by Ewan Christian of London, it cost £730. The funds were largely provided by Mrs Saltmarshe and her daughters (Mr Saltmarshe had been the largest contributor to St.Thomas's Church Douglas).
The original 'Dhoon Church' and associated schoolroom was built around 1836 at the Dhoon Bridge which is about a mile to the south - and the name was transferred to the new church at Glen Mona (which has caused confusion ever since).
Christ Church was built as a chapel-of-ease to Maughold but is now in shared Anglican and Methodist use.
