Christ Church (Episcopal), Shrewsbury is an historic church building at the junction of Broad Street and Sycamore Avenue in Shrewsbury, New Jersey, a location known as the historic "Four Corners" because the intersection hosts the Allen House, the Quaker Meeting House, the Presbyterian Church, and the Shrewsbury Historical Society / Borough Hall. The present church building was constructed in 1769 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.

The congregation held its first mass in 1702 and it has been an active parish since.[1]

The first female rector is the Mother Lisa Sauber Mitchell, who has served as Rector since 1997.[2]

The building housed continental soldiers during the Revolutionary war. A rare Vinegar Bible is also kept here.
