Copyright Christ Church Pitsmoor 2010 / Charity No. 1129500
Our vision is all about being community - Christian community for all nations.
Our values:- relational | diverse | invitational | open | pioneering - are linked to our four key objectives:-
1. cultivate creative ways of expressing
community focused on Jesus
2. cultivate cross-cultural relationships
3. cultivate cross-generational relationships
4. develop staff team, buildings and leadership capacity
Take a look at our strategy document:
In 1850 the Rev Henry Barlow raised the amazing sum of £2311 and with this built the spacious, airy building which is now home to our community. At the time of it’s construction, Christ Church was situated within a fashionable, wealthy area. However over the last one hundred years Pitsmoor has changed dramatically both in physical environment and reputation within the city. Interestingly, even at the turn of the last century when Christ Church was filled with doctors and industry managers, the vicar saw fit to start “cottage meetings” for those who “shun church or chapel by reason of their poverty.”
Christ Church, which is part of the Church of England, is now at a watershed. We’re actively involved with other churches and organisations in re-imagining the church for the 21st Century. We don’t yet know what church will look like in the future. We’re sure it will be very different from the church our ancestors knew. We are also convinced that somehow past and future must be brought together so that as a community we remain rooted in the Christian story while also connecting with ordinary people and inspiring them for life in the modern world.
