The APCM (Annual Parochial Church Meeting) 2024 is being held on Sunday 27th April, 2025 at 7.00pm in the Methodist Schoolroom. All are welcome to attend. An Agenda will be posted shortly. Parishioners listed on the Electoral Roll are eligible to vote.
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.
He is Risen! On that first Easter Sunday, Christ was resurrected from the tomb, as promised -
"We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. On the third day he will be raised to life! " - Matthew 20.:18 -19
Easter Sunday fulfils the prophesy that Jesus is indeed who He says He is and that He will rise again following His crucifixion. On Palm Sunday, He rode triumphantly into Jerusalem, on Maundy Thursday, He told the disciples that this was His last supper; By Good Friday, triumph had turned to terror and the fulfilling of His prophesy that he would die, and on the third day, as He promised He rose again. Christ is risen! Christ showed us all He was indeed the resurrection and the life, and in His resurrection, He gave us joy, peace, the promise of life eternal and hope for the future -
"Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die." -
John 11: 25-26
Join us for the Second Sunday of Easter on 27th April, 2025 at 9am when we celebrate the 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 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.

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.

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
