About Christ Church
Christ Church is made up of a Methodist Church and a United Reformed Church which joined together some years ago. The Church is administered by an Elders Council elected by church members and a Church Meeting. The Elders Council meets about every six weeks and receives reports on and makes decisions concerning finance, the centre, cafe, pastoral concerns, worship, hire of the building etc.
The Church Meeting is held three times a year after morning worship. It consists of all church members and all members are expected to attend as part of their membership obligations.
There are also various committees such as Bread of Life Cafe Development, Fair Trade Centre Development, Pastoral, Worship and Property.
