Children & Young People

There is plenty on for children & young people at Christ Church run by our team of fully CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) checked leaders.

Sundays

There is a fully staffed Creche for 0-2yrs throughout the morning service. All other children & young people start at 10:30am service in the church with the adults, then go out to their groups after the children's talk (except for the monthly all age services).
