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.

Prince Philip
His Royal Highness, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh sadly passed away on Friday 9th April. Prince Philip has given amazing service to our Nation and the Commonwealth for over 70 decades, both on his own account and in his dedicated support of Her Majesty the Queen. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Queen and members of the Royal Family, that they might know the comfort of God as they mourn his loss. May he rest in peace and rise in glory.
God of our lives,
we give thanks for the life of Prince Philip,
for his love of our country,
and for his devotion to duty.
We entrust him now to your love & mercy,
through our Redeemer Jesus Christ.
Amen
