HURON — Christ Episcopal Church is one of the oldest churches in the area. The Episcopal Society of Huron was or­gan­ized in 1837 and a corner­stone for a church building was laid on May 23, 1838, the church’s websites states. At that time, the church was located on the village’s original southern limit with the Rev. F.M. Levenworth as its first pastor, according to the Huron Historical Society’s website. In 1839, the Rev. Samuel Marks took over leadership duties and remained in his position for more than 40 years.

HURON — Christ Episcopal Church has strong roots in the Huron community. The historic church, at 120 Ohio St., offers regular services at 10 a.m. Sunday and a 5 p.m. service between Memorial and Labor days. On Sundays, about 60 people gather at the church, which bases its teachings on the gospel.
