Young People

Children and Young People are an important part of Christ Church. We strive to give them a valued place in Church life.

On Sunday mornings our 'Church of Youth' meets at 10.30 a.m., and after sharing in the first part of worship with everyone, the children go into their own age groups to continue their worship and learning. Children aged under three are cared for in our Crèche during morning worship.

There is also a lovely soft play area in the transcept to keep small children occupied for parents who would like their children to stay in the service with them. Children are very welcome at Christ Church and parents shouldn't worry about noise - it is part of the joy of the celebration!


Messy Church is about all ages (young and old!) having fun. Messy Church is an opportunity for families to come to church once a month on a Sunday afternoon. We meet from 4.00 – 6.00pm on the 4th Sunday of every month and all ages are welcome. During the 2 hours we participate in lots of fun activities involving craft, art, junk modelling, games etc, a short time of informal worship with a story & songs based on a monthly theme and at the end a meal where everyone eats together. We charge £1 per child to cover our costs and all children must be accompanied by an adult. Messy Church dates:

  • Sunday 26th May 2013
  • Sunday 23rd June 2013

  • Messy Newsletters for the last few months

    Our young people's group are aiming a new programme of events and evolves constantly to meet those who are part of the group, they meet for worship and discussion on a basis that fits in with studies and with other activies that the Church has to offer. Some of our Young people are part of a lively music group that consist of singers and talented modern musicians, others express their faith in ways that the church is always exploring to support.
