A very warm welcome to the Christ Church website. Whether you are just browsing, or thinking of visiting,
we hope that you will find it helpful. Our aim at Christ Church is to preach the Bible clearly,
thoughtfully and relevantly, helping everyone to know God through Jesus Christ, and helping them to live for Him in the 21st
century (3 sermons
can be found on the "Regular Events" page). Christ Church is an independent
(Anglican style) congregation. It's very close to the Station in Teddington (a town which is sandwiched between Twickenham
and Kingston, and is on the banks of the Thames). Some people in our congregation come from Teddington and others from other
nearby places such as Fulwell, Hampton Hill and Surbiton. Sundays are the centrepoint of the week, with our two services at 11.00
and 6.30 (11am includes all the different age-related "Sunday School" groups). At our services there are both convinced
Christians and those just wanting to find out more. Meanwhile, enjoy exploring the web site. We hope it informs you; if you
have any other questions, just contact us. Best of all, come and see us! Our
Lord's Day Services are held at 11am & 6.30pm
11 am 6.30 pm The Lord's Supper (1st Sunday of the month) Evening Prayer (1st, 2nd, & 5th Sundays of the month) Morning Prayer (3rd & 4th Sundays of the month) The Lord's Supper (3rd & 4th Sunday of the month) Family Worship (2nd Sunday of the month) 'Sunday School' or 'Covenanter' groups. During the morning service on the 1st, 3rd, 4th & 5th Sundays of the month there are 'Sunday School' groups catering for all ages of youngsters from 3 years up to 16 years. Visitors are welcome to let their children join in, and the children leave the congregation after the service has started. On 1st Sundays they rejoin the rest of the community in time for Communion. WORSHIP. The majority of our services use the 'English Prayer Book' for our liturgy. This is a modern language service. We use a variety of hymnbooks, choosing a variety of styles of hymns, old and new, but always seeking to retain dignity in our worship. For communion we hold that all... 'Christians who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity are affectionately invited to the Lord's Table'. We do insist however, that visitors who wish to receive communion should be communicants in their own churches. Most services are lead by our pastor, others assist with this on occasion.
OUR BELIEFS. Every service has a Biblical Sermon preached. This varies in length, but is always Evangelical in nature. We believe that the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament are the Word of God, indeed, the very oracles of God, and should be the sole rule for our Christian faith and practice. Our church, doctrinally, adheres to the Doctrines of Grace (sometimes called the '5 points of Calvinism'), to the 39 Articles & to the 15 Articles of the CoH Connexion. We are Evangelical, Reformed & Protestant by Trust Deed and by conviction. |
