About Us

We are inclusive, accepting and non-judgmental Church with a enthusiastic mixed-age congregation who welcome the Shieldfield community, students and visitors alike.  Our Sunday service follows a traditional form of worship with hymns and short sermon which is followed by fellowship. You are welcome to join us. 

Christ Church acts as a multi-purpose community hub, providing support for the area, with the church hall used by a range of local groups, including circus skills, the Bangshees drumming group and by Newcastle Gamers.

The church is usually open at our usual service times and for coffee mornings and other community events. It is also used by the adjoining church primary school.  We participate  with other local community groups,  and  hold exhibitions as part of National Heritage Open Days in September and The Late Shows in May each year.  Other events are held throughout the year.

At Christ Church we are committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies. Details of  our Safeguarding policy and contact details of our Parish Safeguarding Officer are in the Safeguarding tab of this webpage.  The Diocese of Newcastle’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information, including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advise Parish Safeguarding Officers. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm, please contact the Parish Safeguarding Officer or DSA. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority Children or Adults Services. For more information, please the Safeguarding page of the Newcastle Diocese website.

We are currently exploring  means of extending our community outreach work to allow the church to be a living place of worship with a sustainable future, that is used and enjoyed by the local community, welcoming visitors and celebrating its unique heritage.  As part of this work we are looking to create a community room and disabled wc in the church. If you are interested in supporting us then please get in touch.
