Christ Church is an anchor in the Middletown Historic District and is used primarily for public events. The church was founded by Christian missionaries who traveled from London to New Jersey in 1702. The church was constructed in 1836, and celebrates 300 years of worship in Middletown.

The first Trust grant helped to fund the preparation of a preservation plan that addressed concerns for the structural stability and recommended further study and construction drawings for stabilization. The second grant helped fund construction drawings for the stabilization, repair and restoration of the church bell tower, foundation and floor supports.  The third grant, awarded in 2004, helped fund the structural stabilization of the tower and foundation.
