Old Fort Church is an historic African-American Methodist church located on Old Baltimore Pike in Christiana, New Castle County, Delaware. The church was originally built on Schoolbell Road (in Christiana Hundred) near Christiana in 1850. In 1897, it was dismantled and reconstructed on its present site. It is a one-story, three bay by three bay, gable-roofed brick structure. It features modified lancet-type windows that illuminate the main block. The gable ends have various types of decorative wood shingles painted dark green.{{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=83001402}} |title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Old Fort Church|author1=Gretchen Fitting |author2=Richard Jett |author3=Valeria Cesna |name-list-style=amp |date=May 1982|publisher=National Park Service}} and {{NRHP url|id=83001402|title=accompanying photo|photos=y}}
