The Gathering is our Sunday evening service at Christ Church. It’s an informal service with a mixture of songs, prayers, news and at its heart a Bible talk relevant to life today. Currently, The Gathering meets in our Church Halls. Please note: once a month we run Cafe Church at 4:30pm instead.

Shrimps is our popular Parents and Toddler Group. Staffed by volunteers from our church family, Shrimps welcomes parents, grandparents, guardians and their little ones.

Each session costs £2 per family, and runs during school terms. All are welcome, space permitting.

Breakout meets on Fridays to chill out, play games, and eat tuck. Every week we look at a bit of the Bible together. Whatever you think about Jesus, Breakout is a great place to find out what he says and to see how he can make sense of our lives.
Cost is £1, but come along and try for free!

As well as Friday nights, we have theme evenings and once a year we escape our parents for our weekend away!

Café Church is our fun-filled all-age service! It’s great for people who would like to try out church and great for families who’d like to learn about God together.
Meeting in our church halls, around tables, there’s a real community buzz as together we enjoy songs, interactive Bible talks, prayers and share buffet food.
Happening once a month (normally second Sundays of the month), the service runs for 4:30 ̶ 5:30pm followed by food.
It’s all free and you can just turn up at our next one. See our website for the next date or get in touch with our Families Coordinator: [email protected]
