Welcome
Welcome to the Parish of Christ Church Willaston - in- Wirral
Working to bring Christ into the Community
who keeps our grounds looking great?
Whilst we employ a gardener for general mowing and keeping the areas near the graves and memorials tidy, our grounds extend beyond the graveyard and we rely on wonderful, generous volunteers such as Mike and Lindsay to help us keep our grounds looking wonderful.
Gradually, people like Mike and Lindsay transform certain areas of our grounds and help us lay foundations for a managed grounds plan which will include an area where the children at Willaston Primary School will be planting seeds and helping to create sections where wildlife can thrive.
What's happening during our Re-Ordering?
Where will our services be held?
There's obviously some changes going to happen during the time Christ Church is closed for re-ordering. This starts on September 23rd 2024 and the church will be closed until May 2025. During this time, our friends and Ecumenical Partners at the Methodist Chapel have kindly opened their church to us. Naturally, this will mean some changes to our services and structure during this period. You'll find a monthly calendar here.

New to Church?
Lots of people haven't found God yet, or some that have don't visit church, but here at Christ Church, we extend a warm welcome to new members of our church and wider community. If you are curious about God, church life in general, or want to simply be part of a Christian community within your community, then spend a Sunday morning with us and discover what we - and God - have to offer. Find out more
Church Life
Church life obviously focusses around our planned worship, which takes place each Sunday and there are extra services at certain times within the liturgical calendar, such as Easter, Harvest and Christmas. There are other activities, in the form of Bible study, men's group, ladies Uplift group, and Home group which are alternative ways for you to form a greater connection with God. Find out more.
Christ Church in the Community
We want Christ Church to be seen to be supporting the community and working with local groups and businesses to let them know that God is always on hand, even if He sometimes has to send Fr Lyndon on the odd occasion. We've already established strong links with Willaston C of E school, and we want to forge stronger links with the wider village community. Find out more
