Christ Church offers young people a chance to look at what it is to grow closer to Jesus and how faith is relevant to everyday life.
We give young people opportunities to serve, explore life, meet people, be real and work out ways to transform the city and the world.
We aim to be fun, welcoming and life-changing – a place of rest in a busy week and a place of community in a fragmented world.

Download Weekend Away - Courage
March 8th - 10th 2019
This year our theme is Courage... looking at the life of Joshua.
Life is a journey but there seems to be so many things to get us off track. The destination may be great, but it seems a long way away.
We'll explore how Joshua was called to be 'strong and courageous' in the face of troubles and how we are called to be the same.
Our speaker is Andy Harrison, an Essex boy who has had a widely varied life including:
running youth work, being held at gunpoint and living with a professional footballer (though not all at the same time!).
