We are humbled to announce that The West Chester Downtown Foundation has selected Christ Church West Chester as recipients of a 2022 Bricks and Mortar Preservation Award for the repair and restoration of our building’s tower. This award is given to recognize construction projects of exceptional quality that have a positive impact on the preservation of West Chester’s historic fabric.

Christ Church West Chester undertook a wholesale restoration of our building’s tower in Spring/Summer 2019, strengthening the structure, repointing the stonework, replacing the broken spires at the top, and repainting all of the wood. This massive project was undertaken through the generous giving of the members of Christ Church West Chester, and we could not be more grateful to God for his gracious provision to our church. Even as we undergo plaster repairs and repainting, we recognize that part of meeting in such a historic building is the call to steward it well through maintenance and preservation.

We are immensely grateful to the WCDF for the award, but even so we ultimately recognize that both this building and its preservation are gifts from God. Please join us in praying that a faithful witness to the Lord of Jesus Christ would remain in this building for decades and centuries to come, shining the light of the gospel into West Chester and beyond.
