Children and Young People's Ministry

Young people night out

Children and young people are very welcome at Christ Church.


Children stay with their parent or grown-up at the start of the service for the welcome, songs and notices. We place value on worshipping God all together as a congregation, before the younger members go off to their classes.

During the first part of the service there is a short children's talk, after which there will be an announcement for the younger members to go off with their teachers, while the adults (and sometimes teens) stay on for the sermon.

Group activities vary depending on the age but you can expect a friendly welcome, bible stories and prayers, and younger ones typically also have arts and crafts. Regular attendants also receive their very own bible.

The Junior Church celebrate an annual anniversary, and over the last few years they have played a pivotal role in leading the service on that day, selecting songs and readings, and performing a sketch or dance.

If you have any questions about the programmes or want to know more about bringing your children along on a Sunday then please fill in our Contact Us form.

Site of first Religious Radio Broadcast to a UK Church


on air

Built in 1880, our church holds a unique place in history as the site of the first religious radio broadcast to a UK church. This groundbreaking event which took place on the 30th July 1922, allowed worshippers in Christ Church to hear Dr James Ebenezer Boon as he broadcast from Blackheath, paving the way for modern Christian broadcasting.

In 2023, Paul Kerensa a well known writer and comedian, visited the church and re-enacted the broadcast, as shown here.
