Church context
We currently operate from two sites, Parkway, the original church building, and Peartree, a refurbished office block, each about a 10 minute walk from the town centre. We welcome an average Sunday morning congregation of 280 children & adults across the two sites with a current membership of 196.
The congregation includes both families and many single people. Each age group is well-represented and there is a diverse ethnic mix.
Christchurch is committed to serving God within the local community. We have a good reputation for ministry with children, young people and senior citizens and we cooperate actively with other local churches. The local council are very positive about the work we do. We have a relational approach to overseas mission support. We are a silver Ecochurch with ambitions for gold.
