Church History

Christ Church, Beaurepaire was first formed in 1924. The original building was erected at its present site in 1932. As more people moved into the region the parish became self-supporting and the appointment of the first full-time rector, the Reverend Roland Bodger, was made in 1959. In 1962 the present church was erected. It was designed by a parishioner, the late Roy Wilson. He supervised construction and on 11th January 1963 the new church was dedicated.
