Christ Church Anglican was built on a site on Mary's Lake at the mouth of the Muskoka River on an acre of land donated by Sydney Smith. Pine cut from islands in the lake was sawn in Mr. Smith's mill and hand-planed by the congregation to create what has been called the "Mother Church" of northern Muskoka; All Saints' Anglican Church (Huntsville, Ont.) for example became a separate mission in 1883. Christ Church is the oldest Anglican Church building in the Muskoka district.
Rev. Edwin Cooper was appointed as missionary at Port Sydney in charge of the surrounding country including Huntsville in 1873. The building of the church began that same year. The first event in the church was the marriage of of William Clarke to Emma Ladell in 1873. The church was consecrated on March 6, 1881 by Bishop F.D. Fauquier. In 1894, Rt. Rev. Edward Sullivan consecrated the land around and up to the water's edge at Christ Church as a churchyard and hallowed place. In 1923 the chapel was added and in 1933 the Lych gate was created and dedicated to Mr. Smith's memory. Many of the village's settlers and descendants are buried in the churchyard.
In 1963, Christ Church Anglican (Port Sydney, Ont.) celebrated its 90th anniversary. At that time the church was the oldest in Muskoka and one of the oldest in Algoma Diocese still being used for regular service. To mark the anniversary a window was dedicated in memory of Canon E.F. Pinnington, who served Christ Church longer than any other incumbent.
Incumbents: Rev. Edwin Cooper, Rev. William Crompton, Rev. E. Robert Clarke, Rev. Cannon E.F. Pinnington (1926-1936, 1950-1963), Rev. Cannon Cyril, Rev. Cannon E. Ray Nornabell.

St. George's Anglican Church (Falkenburg, Ont.) is a church in the Rural Muskoka Anglican Parish. St. George was one of the congregations ministered by the Society of St. John the Evangelist.
The first St. George's Anglican Church was built about 1875 at The Junction, a mile north of the church's present location. When the Grand Trunk Railway was built past Falkenburg in 1885, the church was moved to its present location and the centre of the settlement. In 1900, some material from an old log church in Bardsville was repurposed to build St. George's Chancel and Vestry. A Hall was built in 1924 and sold in 1957 because of disuse and the need for repairs
On October 25,1966 a new basement hall at St. George's was dedicated by the Archbishop. The basement was constructed under the full dimensions of the church and vestry. In addition to a large hall space a kitchen and furnace room were included in the basement.
St. George's celebrated the centennial of Anglican Church services in the township of Macaulay on February 6, 1972.
Until 1903, services were mostly held by the incumbents of Bracebridge, Ont, with Canon A.H. Allman of Gravenhurst, Ont, and Rev. A.W. Hazelhurst of Baysville filling in for some services. Priests began having charge of Falkenburg and St. Mary's Anglican Church (Beatrice, Ont) in 1902.
Incumbents have included: Rev. C.J. Machin (1902-1906?), Rev. Joseph Waring (1906-1913), Rev. John Elliott Graham (1913-1916), Rev. Edward G. Heaven (1916-1918), Rev. Ralph Trego Sadler (1920-1928), and members of the S.S.J.E and students (1928).
