Our Purpose

You will discover we are an international family drawn from over 25 different countries living within a 20 mile radius of Virginia Water. We rejoice in our rich diversity, yet share in common the desire to assist one another, from God's Word, discover our full potential in a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. We take the Bible seriously and believe the local church is the only hope of the world.

Our Sunday services include teaching that is biblical, worship that is contemporary, fellowship that is inclusive and a welcome that is genuine.

Our mission is to assist people to become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ - to know Jesus and make Jesus known - turning pagans into missionaries.

We were designed to live in community - to know and be known, to love and be loved, to serve and be served, to celebrate and be celebrated.

We also seek to fulfill these five basic purposes of the Church:

1. Worship - We were planned for God's pleasure
2. Fellowship - We were formed for God's family
3. Discipleship - We were created to become like Christ
4. Ministry - We were shaped for serving God
5. Evangelism - We were made for a mission

Christ Church is a member of the South East Gospel Partnership, the Willow Creek Association and the Evangelical Alliance. We work in partnership with UCCF (Universities and Colleges Christian Fellowship), New Word Alive and the Christianity Explored Course.

As an evangelical Anglican church, we belong to the Diocese of Guildford within the Church of England yet welcome you whatever your spiritual background. Our church family is enriched by folk from many different denominations. Our Church Council has endorsed the Jerusalem Declaration. Read the full Declaration here.

Stephen, Ro and Francis, our three ordained pastors, support GAFCON and the Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans (FCA).
