History

In 1903, the Methodist Episcopal Church, South established the Christ's Church in Changzhou, Jiangsu.[2] The church traces its origins to the former Kaile Church (Шаблон:Zh), founded by the American missionary John Hawk (Шаблон:Zh) in 1916 in memory of his sister-in-law Carriger Hawk (Шаблон:Zh).[2][3]

The church was renamed Christ's Church in 1958.[2] This name has been used to date.[2] The church was closed during the ten-year Cultural Revolution.[3] Renovations and a rebuilding of the main building began in July 2002 and were completed in March 2004 in a Gothic architectural style.[2][3] A Шаблон:Convert high bell tower was added to the church.[2] The new church is Шаблон:Convert, which can accommodate up to 1,300 parishioners.[2][3] The church was officially reopened to the public on 11 December 1983.[2]
