Welcome to the Christ Church website!   

Christ Church, Botafogo is the only English speaking Anglican Church in Rio. Our mission is to serve the English speaking community of the city and beyond, whether they be permanent residents, here on short contract or simply passing through this part of the world. In 2008, as in every year since our building was consecrated, we seek to express our faith in God by our words, deeds and actions.

An Anglican Church has been around in Rio since 1810, and has had its own building since 1819, originally sited in the centre near to the Municipal Theatre. The present building has been in constant use since 1944. Christ Church is a welcoming, friendly church for people of all ages and backgrounds, church or not. We meet together every Sunday in the beautiful Church building in Rua Real Grandeza, 99, Botafogo, Zona Sul. The Church is well served by public transport and secure, private car parking is available.
