7423 South 12571 Phone ( 845 ) 758-1591 info christchurch-redhook.org Christ Church of Red Hook is an Episcopal Church located in the historic Hudson Valley. The parish was founded in 1855 by its first Rector, the Rev. Henry DeKoven ( the older brother of the Rev. Dr. James DeKoven, who is commemorated by the Episcopal Church on March 22 each year ). The Church was consecrated by Bishop Potter on June 21, 1855. Since its foundation, Christ Church has faithfully served Red Hook and its surrounding areas. Our building is historic. It was designed by the well-known ecclesiastical architect Richard Upjohn in the style of Carpenter Gothic. Our parish is, to this day, one of the finest examples of this architecture in the mid-Hudson Valley. Repairs have been made, historically, with a commitment to the esthetic integrity of the building. Major Feasts of the Church are celebrated in the evenings, and we offer a quarterly Evensong. Our winter Evensong will be held on Sunday evening, the fourth Sunday in Advent, and it is the traditional Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols. Specifics regarding these special events can be found on the calendar page of our website.
