Services

There are three services held at Christ Church each Sunday, each with its own distinct character. Visitors are very welcome to join us at any of these.

Please do stay with us after the service for refreshments and a chat, or if you would value prayer with the prayer ministry team who are always available after the service. There are also regular prayer times held in church.

earlychurch@9am

The early.church@9am service is usually quiet and contemplative, based on Common Worship and including mostly traditional hymns and a sermon. There is a small robed choir. Holy Communion is celebrated at least three times each month, the other being Morning Prayer. Tea and coffee are served in the Upper Room after the service where we meet for informal fellowship.

allagechurch@10.30am

The allage.church@10.30am service has particular emphasis towards families with children up to early teens. The whole family worships together for the first 15 minutes before the children leave for their own age based groups. The service is informal in style with a worship group leading contemporary songs. Communion is celebrated once each month.

Every other week we offer a British Sign Language interpreted service. This is an essential part of the church’s worship, enabling access to worship for deaf people and enriching the life of the church.

latechurch@7pm

The late.church@7pm is designed to be contemporary, informal and challenging. Whilst the service is attended by our students and young people, it does appeal to a wide range of ages.

Attendance has grown rapidly in recent years. Communion is celebrated once each month.
What draws people is the strong emphasis on:

• Fellowship (we start at 6:30pm with coffee and biscuits)

• Worship (contemporary)

• Teaching (which seeks to connect the Word of God with the World of God)

• Openness to the work of the Holy Spirit
