    Locations and Service Times

    Christ Church has 2 sites for Sunday Services, Northcourt Rd. & Long Furlong Primary School.

    The services at both sites are lively and friendly, offering a warm welcome to everyone. For those who prefer a more traditional service, we offer a 1662 Book of Common Prayer Holy Communion service on alternate Sundays (Jan 6, Jan 20, Feb 3, Feb 17)

    Northcourt Rd. (click for term card in pdf format)

  • 9:30am, 11:15am, 6:30pm
  • Our two morning services are based on the Anglican ‘Common Worship’ structure, the 11:15 service tending to be slightly more formal. Young people have their own groups: GODZONE at 9:30 for ages 5-11 and Pathfinders at 11:15 for 11-14. There is a crèche available during the 9:30 service together with a 3-5’s group. The evening service is much more informal, with more modern music, a looser structure and opportunities for prayer ministry.

    Communion at Northcourt Rd. is celebrated on the 1st and 3rd Sundays in the month at 8 a.m on the 2nd Sunday at 9:30 and 11:15, and on the 4th Sunday in the month at 6:30.
