Christ Episcopal Church of Kent Island
- Christ Episcopal Church of Kent Island
The Christ Episcopal Church of Kent Island is an Episcopal parish located on Kent Island in Maryland, and is recognized as the state's oldest Christian congregation. It was founded in 1632, one year after Kent Island was founded by William Claiborne, and two years before settlers arrived at St. Clement's Island. The parish has used at least four buildings during its history. The first was located at Kent Fort, the second in Broad Creek, the third in Stevensville, and the fourth and current in Matapeake. Of the four buildings, only the third and fourth are standing today, the fourth having been built in 1995 to accommodate the parish's growing size. The third church is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Christ Church is part of the Episcopal Diocese of Easton and owns and operates Camp Wright, a summer camp in Matapeake, which serves as the diocesan camp.
