Christ Church is a welcoming church family for people of all ages and backgrounds, whether used to church or not. Through inspiring worship services, engaging Bible teaching, and meaningful small groups, we strive to create an environment where individuals can grow in their knowledge and understanding of God's truth. We meet weekly on Sundays in person and online -- so please come and see for yourself :-)
You will find us contemporary and informal, and believe that God loves and continues to speak to people today. We want others to discover the real Jesus Christ who we find comes alive through the Bible. We are intent on glorifying God and equipping each other to live the Christian life and take Jesus' offer of "life in all its fullness" out to others.
We're formally an interesting 'ecumenical' mix of Anglican, Baptist, Methodist and United Reformed Church, but in practice we're simply a group who are trying to "follow Jesus in every way".
We believe all God's children deserve to be treated equally well, but some have additional needs. We have many in our church family, young and old, with additional needs through autism, ADHD, lack of mobility, low sight and difficulty hearing.
We do our best to cater for all, including making it easy to leave the service or youth group to sit in a quieter space for a while.
Please get in touch with us if you'd like a chat ahead of time.
We have step-free access from car park to the main doors, and level access to all rooms except our smaller rooms on the first floor. Our main doors have automatic opening buttons for disabled users.
Christ Church is located off the Reading Road in Chineham and has its own car park, with two disabled bays right by the main doors, and room for parking for about 25 other cars in the car park.
There are two disabled toilets with drop down bars in the building.
Baby changing facilities also available.
Please Note: We would love to join the Changing Places movement and install one of their loos too, but we're currently waiting for funding.
There is a hearing loop in the worship area for our services.
There are larger print Bibles and service sheets available. Please have a word with the Welcomers on the way in, or let us know beforehand.
