The Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Aldermanbury, relocated from the City of London to Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri, is a treasured part of ANCM. While its origins date from the 12th century, it was redesigned by Sir Christopher Wren in 1677 after the Great Fire of London.
Largely destroyed for second time in 1940 during the Blitz of the Second World War, 
Wren's architectural masterpiece was saved from demolition in the 1960s and moved to Westminster College as a memorial honoring Winston Churchill's "Iron Curtain" speech at the college.

On November 9, 1990, exactly one year after the fall of the Berlin Wall, President Ronald Reagan dedicated Breakthrough, an 11-foot-high by 32-foot-long structure sculpted from 8 sections of the wall by artist Edwina Sandys, granddaughter of Winston and Clementine Churchill. Visitors may view Breakthrough on Latshaw Plaza adjacent to ANCM.
