Christ Church Durham Parish has had a presence in the Nanjemoy community since 1661. The history of the church reflects our caring and compassionate love for local neighbors. For over 350 years we have been a holy site where people can come to worship God and receive pastoral care.
Through our outreach we provide assistance to our local neighbors such as food and sometimes clothing and toys from our Joe’s Place Food Pantry. Fresh, clean water is always available from our well.
In addition, we partner with local organizations to help provide meals for families at the local elementary school, and volunteer our time and resources wherever we can. Below are some of the things we have been up to!
Charles County Literacy Council
The Literacy Council holds Adult Literacy Training occasionally at Durham Parish. Trained Tutors from within the Parish are able to meet with their students in the Parish Hall. Information regarding upcoming training sessions will be posted on this website.
