St. Christopher's Anglican Church (Sylvan Valley, Ont.) is part of the single-point St. Christopher's Anglican Parish (Sylvan Valley, Ont.).
The mission in Sylvan Valley was initially grouped with the missions of Echo Bay and Desbarats. Rev. Frost from Garden River occasionally held services in the area, until the missionary Rev. Phillips came for the summer of 1907. The area was without a priest from September 1907 to May 1908, when Rev. Godfrey Watts took residence in Echo Bay.
The church building was built in the late 1890's. In the summer of 1900, the congregation painted the exterior.
By 1914 it was noted the church building was in definite need of repairs; the foundation had sunk in one corner, causing the building to lean, and the roof needed work.
The church was not dedicated until October 1935.
