Christ Church, United Methodist is a United Methodist church on theUpper East Side ofManhattan in New York City.
Located at the northwest corner ofPark Avenue and 60th Street, the church was built primarily during 1931–1933. Church services began in 1933 but financial impacts of theGreat Depression and shortages ofWorld War II prevented the mosaics planned for the interior from being executed until 1948–49. The church was designed byRalph Adams Cram, who is known for hisGothic Revival ecclesiastical architecture. While designing this church, he used a combination of Romanesque andByzantine Revival styles instead.[1]
In addition to its operation as a church, Christ Church has operated an early childhoodday school since 1949.[2]
