St. Christopher's was born out of the need for a church on the east side of town and to satisfy the comfort and needs of men and women then attending Cheyenne's only Episcopal Church. In the spring of 1946, a group of 108 interested people met with the Rt. Rev. Winfred H. Ziegler in the basement of the Congregational Church. Out of that meeting a new mission congregation was formed. The first worship service was held on August 17, 1946, at the YWCA. The fast growing church was assigned to the Rev. Dr. Raymond Lang as full time priest in February 1947. In less than a year, due to the faith and diligence of the members, St. Christopher's was admitted by convention as a self-supporting parish of the diocese.
