Pastoral care

Christ Church is a supportive community. We aim to support and care for people with the same heart of compassion as Jesus.

We also want to encourage every person in their Christian faith journey as they seek to become more like Jesus, following the Bible’s teaching to love God and love each other. We aim to reflect God’s heart across our community, to bring wholeness and healing to individuals and relationships as we seek to bring God’s kingdom on earth.

Home Communion

If you, or someone you know, is unable to attend worship services at church we have a team trained to take holy communion to those who are housebound, in hospital, or otherwise incapacitated.

Listening and prayer

If you, or someone you know, would value being able to speak to someone about the things you are dealing with we have a team trained in listening, prayer, and pastoral support.

Bereavement support

If you, or someone you know, has experienced a bereavement we have a team available to support you in your loss. We can offer an opportunity to talk through what has happened and how you are feeling as well as to pray with you. There is a monthly Bereavement support group that you could join.
