East Stour: Christ Church, East Stour

Christ Church is one of a group of eight churches (called the Benefice of Stour Vale) which covers Buckhorn Weston, East Stour, Fifehead Magdalen, Kington Magna, Stour Provost, Stour Row, Todber and West Stour.

We have services on three Sundays of each month, with additional ones during festivals (Christmas, Easter, etc.).

We are a friendly bunch and working hard to make our church a welcoming and relevant place to worship. We have both the older traditional services as well as more modern worship.

Children are of course always welcome and they are not expected to sit still and not make a sound. They are allowed to be children! A carpeted area with toys, books, etc. can be used at any time during or after the service.
