The Church of Christ The Redeemer is Lurgan's most recognizable landmark. This Church Of Ireland, gothic building is situated in Church Place, in the centre of Lurgan. It can be seen miles away from the town. The original church was sited in Shankill Graveyard, which is half a mile from the present building. The church became too small for the congregation and had fell into dilapidation. So during the early 18th century a new church was built in the "Green" (Church Place) of Lurgan.

The Church standing today was built during the years 1861 to 1863. It is the third church to be situated on this site. The first was completed in 1725 and consecrated by Dr. Lambert, Bishop of Dromore. A steeple was added in 1736 and this was topped with a spire in the 1750's. The church's records available for research in PRONI, Belfast are as follows:
