Welcome to Christ Church, New Seaham!

Belong - Believe - Become - Bless

Rev'd Gavin Rushton and Curate Rev'd Anita Burke are revitalising Christ Church and also planting a new church community within the church hall.  We serve the needs of the New Seaham community and in new ways hope to reinvigorate Christian mission in the parish.

We're a family friendly Church where visitors and newcomers, young and old, will always find a warm welcome and we're all about building family and community. 

We hold a Communion service every Sunday at 10.00am in the Church - all are welcome.

We also host a 'Take-5' service on Sunday at 5pm - experience a warm cafe style welcome in our Church Hall, a safe place to explore faith in a way which suits you, concluding around the table with cake!  

Join us for a short communion service at 11.30am on Tuesdays in our Community Hub know as 'The Well' in our Church Hall, and stay afterwards for a light lunch and cuppa (pay-as-you-feel).

We believe church is not just for Sundays so our community hub, 'The Well', is held weekly on Tuesdays (10am-2pm) offering pay-as-you-feel refreshments, various table-top activities and free groceries at our People's Pantry and an 11.30am communion service. Tuesday evenings we host our discipleship group. On Thursdays we welcome toddlers to our Church Mice Toddlers and every other Friday we enjoy the outdoors with a local prayer walkFor Baptism/Christening enquiries please attend a Sunday service and speak to Rev'd Anita afterwards over refreshments.
