Our story: A brief history of Christ Church

The creation of the parish of Christ Church and the move to a new building have prompted many recollections of the past, and questions about "how it all began". This is not just a matter of curiosity; knowing where we came from gives us a greater sense of gratitude to God and to those who contributed to the building up of the church over the decades.

Our story is told here in a series of pages:

(1) The Church Hall era, 1928-1977
(2) The Church Centre A permanent congregation is established, 1977-1979
(3) Growth and independence The Church Centre 1979-2004
(4) A new parish Christ Church 2004 onwards

Can you help?

Since we are a relatively young church, many of the people and events that feature in our story are within the living memory of present and former members and local residents. If you have any additional information, or spot any errors, please let us know. Thank you!
