Cook's Creek is well known as a Ukrainian settlement with a magnificent grotto and Immaculate Conception Ukrainian Catholic Church. The original settlers in the district came from the British Isles, the United States, and Ontario. They built a school and held both Presbyterian and Anglican services there. The Rev. G.H. Hooper was the first Anglican minister. In time an Anglican church was built across from the school and Cook's Creek was recognized as a parish with churchwardens and vestry by Bishop Machray on November 8th, 1887. Christ Church was consecrated by Bishop Machray on June 4th, 1899. The petition asking for the church's consecration describe it as 32 feet long and 20 feet wide with a porch 6 feet by 6 feet and further states that it was built with the help of a grant (£39) from the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge.

The entries Hazelridge, Christ Church, and Cook's Creek, Christ Church, appear in the Synod Reports/Journals for a few years afterwards and then vanish. The church was probably gone before the First World War and the 1932 Synod Journal reports that the Cook's Creek Trust was transferred to the Church Endowment Fund.
