Come and meet our church family, you'll find a friendly welcome. Our church is a great place for families and children and we are people who care for each other in the ups and downs of life.
At Christ Church you can ask questions and grow, whether you are already a Christian or someone who wants to find out why we believe in God and what our faith means to us.

Forest Church
SUNDAY 16TH AUGUST
We are planning to hold a socially distanced Forest Church session on Sunday 16th August at 3pm, meeting in the churchyard. It would be lovely to get together in person & worship outside for around 45 minutes so do join us if you can. Please note that the church will not be accessible for toilets or drinks.
Toddler Group
Following Government and Church of England guidelines we are unable to open the Monday Baby & Toddler Group safely, in a Covid secure way at this time.
We have sadly therefore decided to delay reopening until January 2021.
In the meantime, we will continue to keep in touch via email and WhatsApp. If you would like to join either of these groups please do get in touch via email to [email protected]
Church Closure
Sadly under the current safety restrictions the church has to remain closed even for private prayer.
We have a service each Sunday morning at 10am on Zoom. Contact Chloe if you need an invite emailed to you.
If you are in isolation and need support please get in touch and we will do what we can to help.
Email Chloe at [email protected] or Sandra at [email protected]

We have put together a document which helps to locate different organisations that may be of use to people & families during this crisis.
Parish Magazine
While we are in lockdown and have no face-to-face events, the Parish Magazine edited by Mel will take a short break. We hope to have a new edition in the Autumn, and Mel would welcome any articles you would like to share.
All the magazines for the last 12 months are still available in the "Notices and Magazine" menu item above.
Coffee Mornings
A group of local volunteers are organising a coffee morning to help us to ease back into life and reconnect with friends and family over a cuppa.
The venue is the Ottershaw Social Club, 19 Brox Road, Ottershaw, KT16 0HG. The coffee morning is planned to run over the 4 weeks in August (6th, 13th, 20th and 27th)
from 10 to 12 o'clock.
There is no charge for entry or for the refreshments but a donation would be appreciated just to cover the costs.
