Spring 2025 - Logo (169)

Welcome to our term plan for spring 2025.

As a church family we are going on a sixteen week journey through Mark’s gospel. Together we will explore how Jesus challenges and disrupts societal and cultural norms and traditional ways of thinking. In doing this, Jesus offers a radical new perspective on life. One that is shaped by and expresses the values of the kingdom of God. 

Jesus is the way to this new life. It is only through choosing to surrender our lives to him and follow him that we become citizens of God’s kingdom and receive the gift of eternal life. 

As we journey through the first seven chapters of Mark’s gospel we will see the gospel of Jesus revealed. In chapter eight we find the declaration that Jesus is the Messiah. The reality of Jesus as Messiah is the fulcrum on which the whole of history turns. In chapters nine to fifteen we see how God’s covenant is fulfilled in Jesus. In the closing chapter we celebrate the truth that Jesus is risen. 

Through it all we find the call for us as followers of Jesus to share the gospel of Jesus with those who don’t yet know Jesus and for our lives to be a living declaration of the kingdom of heaven. In doing this we help people find Jesus and follow him wholeheartedly and we play our part in the heavenly transformation of people and culture in Bristol. 

Screenshot 2024-12-17 084436There are notes for each week of the term. We hope you will find these a helpful tool as you meet with others to learn together, pray together, and serve together.

We look forward with excitement to all that the Holy Spirit will do in and through us this term.

You can also download Paul Langham's translation of Mark's Gospel from Who? and read it alongside your normal Bible version.

The series will finish with an immersive retelling of Mark's Gospel on Good Friday and Easter Saturday. Click here for full details and tickets.

Planning your Visit

About Us Header


Christ Church is a great place to be – we’re a very diverse group of people who have one thing in common: we’ve encountered an extravagantly generous God who loves us unconditionally.


In Jesus, he’s welcomed and accepted us, made us part of his world-wide family, is healing our brokenness and restoring in us what it means to be truly human.

He calls us to be as generous to one another and to our world as he has been to us. The bible calls this culture of generous welcome and unconditional love ‘The Kingdom of God.’

This Kingdom is a place of transformation where earth begins to look like heaven, and we want to play our part in seeing it grow in our own lives, in Clifton, Bristol and beyond.

We know it’s impossible to achieve this ourselves and so we seek partnership with others who also look for the coming of God’s Kingdom.

Above all, we continually pursue a deeper love for, intimacy with, and understanding of Jesus – believing that this is the key to unlocking what is impossible for us.  Read on to learn more about our vision.

With so many different people making up our church family, and so many things going on, we’re confident there’s a place for everyone. Please come along and see for yourself - details of upcoming events can be found on our online calendar or at the Welcome Area in church, and if you don’t find what you’re looking for, please do ask.

We look forward to welcoming you whenever you visit. 

Chris, Janet and Mark (leadership team)
