The Christ Church Anglican Church, Echuca is in the Parish of Echuca and the Diocese of Bendigo. In 1863 church services were held in the Court House, then the hall until the erection/opening of the present church building on 7/9/1865. Mr Hopwood a local pioneer donated 3 windows in the gallery. The church celebrated its 160th anniversary on 7/9/2025, attended by the Rt Rev Matthew Brain, Bishop of Bendigo. The organ was refurbished in 2012 and is used as part of the local area organ festival. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited.
