Historic Christ Church Museum Continuing Education for Volunteers

Interested in volunteering for the Historic Christ Church Museum? Attend our education for volunteers.

Each spring, summer, and fall, knowledgeable docents offer informative tours of the church. Since the early 1990s, members of the Historic Christ Church Foundation's research program have been pouring through local records to document the lives of those people who formed the parish community in the early eighteenth century. At the same time, volunteers working to compile names of Carter descendants are revising and expanding extensive databases on the prolific family.

Just as importantly, the Foundation also prides itself on being a leader in educational and community outreach programs. Each year it sponsors a range of community events, including a public lecture series and "Second Saturday" Family Fun Days. In addition, hundreds of local students visit Historic Christ Church annually, making it a valuable complement to their classroom study of Virginia history.
