Working to bring Christ into the Community
Working to bring Christ into the Community
The project is now almost complete, with handover from the contractors expected at the end of May. Services will resume in the Christ Church building on Sunday 15th June, 2025 at 9am. Prior to that, our Open Day is being held on Saturday 14th June, 2025 when you'll have an opportunity to bring friends and family while we show off our new community and worship space to you!
We've removed the pews, installed new underfloor heating, new flooring, updated the electrics, installed a brand new state-of-the-art AV system, added a brand new refreshment zone, created a brand new small meeting room, relocated the vestry, updated the existing washroom and added a new accessible washroom, introduced flexible seating to enable worship and community events to take place and much more! Come and meet us and have a look around at our Open Day on Saturday 14th June and see what Christ Church and its brand new Community Hub can offer you!
We've also commenced the 'Caring For God's Acre' initiative outside. You've probably noticed that the hedges and trees no longer hide and obstruct the graves or paths and that the grass in the graves area is cut short. New areas of grass and wildflowers will be left to grow and the children at Willaston CofE School are going to make a wildflower meadow in the NW corner, once the scout hut is demolished and the site cleared.
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.
Alleluhiah! Christ is Risen! But before you think, that's it, Easter is over now, well, it isn't. The Eastertide period lasts for seven weeks from Easter Day until Pentecost.
We all know that Jesus was resurrected on Easter Sunday. It's a cause for great celebration throughout the Christian kingdom. But - and here's where it gets interesting - what did Jesus do AFTER his resurrection? Hit the button and read on...
Join us for the Fifth Sunday of Easter on 18th May 2025 at 9am when we celebrate a Service of the Word in Willaston Methodist Chapel. All are welcome to attend and refreshments are available after the service.
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 re-open for worship on 15th June 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.

The building of Christ Church began in 1854 and was completed in 1926. Our church is a gothic revival Grade II listed building, prominently situated on Neston Road, in the heart of Willaston, Wirral. Fr Lyndon Bannon, and Christ Church aim to serve the community through prayer, action and involvement in village life and its wider issues. Find out more
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 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.
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
