Choir and Worship Group
We are always looking for new members to join our choir and worship group.
Home Groups for Bible Study and Fellowship
In a sizeable congregation, it’s impossible to know everyone, that’s why there’s value in belonging to a smaller group. Contact any of our leaders through the Church office if you’d like to find out more.
We have a variety of home groups that meet regularly for Bible Study & Fellowship. They meet regularly on different days/times in homes or in the Parish Centre.
| Host | Day/time | Group |
|---|---|---|
| Keith & Maureen Jones At their home | Wednesday evenings, weekly | This group enjoys meals together and the emphasis is on fellowship |
| Tina Benney At her home in Charlton Kings. | 1st and 3rd Friday of each month at 10:30am | This group enjoys fellowship, meals and Bible Study. Please contact Tina if you would like to join. |
| Nikki Seville In the Malvern Room | Fridays 10:30am, fortnightly | This group enjoys Bible study, prayer and fellowship |
Newcomers are always welcome – Contact Us to join a group.
Baby and Toddler Group
Christ Church Baby and Toddler Group aims to support young parents by providing a range of toys and activities suitable for babies and pre-school children.
We meet on Mondays from 1.30 pm until 3.15 pm in the Harwood Hall in the Christ Church Parish Centre.
All are welcome and many long-lasting friendships are made between parents and between the children. The cost is £1 per family. Tea and coffee are served and a snack time is organised for the children.
