Welcome
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.

Traditional Tales
A World Book Week Trail
Ottershaw CofE Schools are celebrating World Book Week from 1st March. Their theme is ‘Traditional Tales’ – and we are hoping you can help create a ‘Traditional Tale trail’ by leaving a clue to a character from a fairy story in your window, front garden or drive?
The children would do the ‘Traditional Tale Trail’ as part of their daily exercise looking for ‘clues’ to a traditional fairy story e.g. a bowl of porridge (Goldilocks) or picture of a character in a front window.
We are looking for the trail to be in Murray Road, Slade Road, Brox Road, Guildford Road, Chobham Road, Foxhills Road, Fletcher Road, Fletcher Close, Spratts Lane – and all the cul-de-sacs in between!
Please contact Chloe if you need any further information.
Your Wellbeing
We have put together a document which helps to locate different organisations that may be of use to people & families during this crisis.

Church Closure
Based on the high local incidence of Covid and the need to protect you from infection and the NHS from overload we have decided we should stop services in church for now and so there will not be a service of Holy Communion at 9am this Sunday or until further notice
We are however still able to worship each Sunday morning at 10:30am on Zoom.
If you would like an invite emailed to you, please contact Chloe at [email protected] . We would love for you to join us!
