Christ Church has an approved Child Protection Policy and a Children’s Advocate.
We offer a wide range of activities for children and young people at Christ Church both as part of the family of the Church and in separate groups sponsored by the Church.
Sunday
10.45am Family Church Service where all ages are welcome.
Our Junior Church meet in their own rooms after sharing in the first part of the service in the Church. Contact Anne Durnford 01473 727790
Cafe Church, a discussion group for young people aged 10 and over is held on the first Sunday in the month, starting at 10.45am.
About four times a year the 10.45 am service takes the form of a Youth Parade Service, including young people from the uniformed organisations. These services are very interactive and usually feature music from the Christ Church music group.
