Christ Episcopal Church
Church
New Bern's oldest congregation, established 1715. The current building dates to 1875, but the church served the colonial capital community through the Revolution. Royal governors worshipped here; Patriot leaders met in its shadow. The churchyard contains graves of Revolutionary-era residents and colonial officials.
