As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but
chosen by God and precious to him—you also, like living stones,
are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood,
offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

1 Peter 2:4-5

Peter describes with breathtaking clarity the identity, life and mission of the church. The church is all who in Jesus have become living stones. Those who have moved from darkness to light, who were not a people and are now the people of God. The life of the church, built of living stones, is intentionally dynamic. We adapt and change to make space for new living stones and to build each other up in the strength and power of the Holy Spirit. The mission of the church is simply to reach the not-yet-living stones that the Holy Spirit leads us to.
 
This autumn we are going to explore together our identity and purpose as the living stones who are built together as Christ Church. We will explore the biblical basis for our identity and purpose, and the practical aspects of how we work this out. We’ll share testimonies of God’s mission in and through us. We’ll engage in practical application of being living stones built by God into a spiritual house.
 
These include:
 
4th October Big Church Family Day
12th October Generosity Sunday
19th October Team building and BYO lunch after the 10 Gathering
16th November Inviting people in our parish to Christmas at Christ Church

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)
