Welcome to Christ Church
We are an open and inclusive church where all are welcome
We believe in 'inclusive Church' – church which does not discriminate, on any level, on grounds of economic power, gender, mental health, physical ability, race or sexuality.
We believe in Church that welcomes and serves all people in the name of Jesus Christ; is scripturally faithful and seeks to proclaim the Gospel afresh for each generation.
We do this in the power of the Holy Spirit, allowing all people to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Jesus Christ.
Welcome to
the Rev'd Rachel Burdett CJN,
