A Church Full of Ordinary People...
Christ Church is a church where people believe God can and does change lives because he loves each of us very much. Through our worship, our serving and our friendship we try to share this hope with all who meet us.
Jesus called us to live his way in the midst of everyday life seven days a week. We have found that his way has changed our lives for the better. That gives us the confidence to get more involved in the community around us so that we can see the world around us change for the better too.
There is a warm welcome for everyone here....

Following the advice of the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, all services and activities are suspended at Christ Church until further notice.
We are still digesting this news and what it means for other aspects of the Church's life. We'll post more details when we have them in the next day or so.
Regardless of the situation we will do our best to be good neighbours, to pray for all of you and to also work at what this new life of prayer, worship, service, and fellowship looks like without being centred around a building. You'll see shortly that we will be offering other resources to help people worship and pray in their homes and to also deepen their faith.
More often then not, a crisis shows us who we are and who we can be. That is certainly true now where the Church of England is in uncharted territory . This can be a time of imagination and discovery if we have the courage for it to be so. That's my prayer at least.
So, wash your hands, pause for a moment and get your bearings. Christ is with us and his love fills us. We hope we can let that love overflow from our hearts to the benefit of our neighbours and for each other.
