History Biographical: 

Christ Anglican Church (Englehart, Ont.)  is a church in the Northern Lights Anglican Parish (Haileybury, Ont.). 

Rev. John Leigh asked the Bishop of Algoma for work in the diocese in 1906, and was offered a $500 annual stipend. He arrived in Englehart in April 1907 and met with Rev. R.A. Cowling of Haileybury. Rev. Leigh’s home was built immediately: a shack 30” by 14”. The first service was held April 21, 1907.

The foundation for the parsonage was laid on May 6, 1907. Fundraising for the church commenced, and in the meantime Rev. Leigh held service above the post office loaned by Mr. Robert Brittain. The church was dedicated in September of the same year.

In 1950, St. Luke's Anglican Church (Hanbury, Ont.) was donated to the congregation of Englehart. Materials from the church were used to renovate the floor, roof, insulation, and wiring. The church building underwent renovations again in 1959 which included the addition of a vestry, storage units, and a rear stairway. Christ Church celebrated the 65th anniversary of the parish at a service of thanksgiving and re-dedication on September 28, 1972.  In the same year a renovation project was undertaken to complete the interior of the church, enlarge the kitchen, refurbish the downstairs hall, and create a new church office and vestry.

Christ Anglican Church (Englehart, Ont.) was consecrated on October 27, 1985 by the Right Rev. Leslie Peterson, Bishop of Algoma.

Incumbents have included: Rev. John Leigh (1907-?), Rev. Edward Francis Pinnington (1911-1912), Rev. James Templeton (1919-1921), Rev. Christopher Lord (1924-1927), Rev. Frederick Elmer Jewell (1932-1937), Rev. Arthur Preston Scott (1936).
