Christ Church, Lower Broadheath
Christ Church is in the centre of Lower Broadheath. We normally hold a service every Sunday at 11am but please do check our Worship page for details of this week’s services.
We welcome everyone to worship. We have two Holy Communion services each month. Our other services are more relaxed and informal but, whichever service you come along to, you can be sure of a really warm welcome (with refreshments after the service too).
Our church building is fully accessible for children’s buggies and wheelchairs and we have an accessible toilet.
We host “All Together” on the first Saturday of each month - a lovely opportunity for younger children to come and play, hear a bible story, make friends, and for parents and carers to make friends and eat cake! We are committed to making our church building available for our community.
Our local school comes to worship in church every month, and we learn a great deal from having them with us - not least some wonderful new songs.
Come and meet us!
