A church at the heart of the community with the community at its heart - all are welcome here.

Based on Rider Haggard Road, the church building is just a short walk from both Heartsease Primary Academy and Open Academy.

We are told that we are a friendly and welcoming church, and we hope that you will find that to be true.

As Christ’s Church set in the middle of the parish we seek to serve, we are working out how to love God and love our neighbours as we love ourselves – please come and join us on the journey!

Sunday service: 10:30 am

Coffee & Chat is open every Thursday from 10am – 12noon
