Christ Episcopal Church was the first house of worship
established with the founding of Georgia in 1733. Early
rectors included the Rev. John Wesley (1736-37), who began the earliest
form of Sunday school and published the first English hymnal in the
colonies, and Rev. George Whitefield (1738-40), founder of the Bethesda
Orphanage.
The cornerstone for the first building on this site was laid in 1744. James Hamilton Cooper designed the current and third structure in 1838. The 1819 Revere & Sonbell continues in use today. One of the many prominent members was Juliette Gordon Low, founder of the Girl Scouts of America.
