“Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.”
– Psalm 95:1
Why we
We gather together to worship God, to hear from God’s word, to pray for the needs of the world, and to give our gifts to support God’s work in Ossett and beyond.
We’d love to see you at one (or both) of our regular weekly services.
A multi-generational, informal and contemporary service.
A service of worship and teaching with opportunity for prayer ministry. We usually celebrate Communion together twice a month. Our children’s and youth groups meet during the service, except for the first Sunday of the month when we all come together for All-In Worship. The service usually lasts between 75-90 minutes.
A quieter and more reflective midweek service
We meet for this service in the Parish Centre. We sing together, pray together, read the Bible and hear a short talk. We celebrate Communion together once a month. The service usually lasts about 45-60 minutes, and afterwards there is an opportunity to stay for fellowship over a cup of coffee and a biscuit. Everyone is welcome.
It can be a little daunting if you're coming along for the first time. We try to be as welcoming as we can as a church, and try to recognise new faces. Don't be surprised if somebody comes over and says ‘hi’. After the service, we gather together for refreshments in the Parish Centre – we’d love you to join us if you can.
We don't have any sort of dress code, so feel free to wear whatever you feel comfortable in. Feel free to sit anywhere you like! Remember, nothing is compulsory. We’re not too formal in our approach, and recognise that different people will be in different places in their faith journey – and that's absolutely fine. You’re welcome to join in with as much as you feel able to.
We love kids at Christ Church! We are a multi-generational church family, with lots of other young families that worship here. We have groups for children and young people during the Sunday service, aimed at kids from the age of 2yrs - 11yrs. Our groups are geared for children to learn about Jesus through fun, games and singing.
For babies and toddlers under 2, we have activity packs and toys at the back of church to help keep the kids (and parents!) occupied. We expect young kids to make noise – within reason(!) – so don't feel you need to be too uptight.
