Our Church

At Christ Church, Portsdown we have a thriving and enthusiastic Junior Church which is organised into three age groups - Preschool and Infants, Juniors, Senior School plus College:

 

  • 3-6 year olds
  • 7-10 year olds – Rocks
  • 10+ year olds

 

In addition we have a Youth Group for Children in Year 9 at school and above. See here for more details.

 

The Junior Church meet in our church hall, adjacent to our church on the first, third and fifth Sunday in the month @ 10.30am during school term time.  We start together with a greeting, prayer and Hymn then separate into our groups.

 

During Junior Church we learn about the bible working in our separate groups using craft, stories, drama, music etc.  We normally join the main congregation towards the end of the communion service and receive a blessing.

 

At some family services members of junior church lead prayers and take part in the readings.

 

In December we organise a service during which we perform a nativity drama with all Junior Church members taking part.

 

If you are interested in sending your child(ren) to one of the groups or know someone else who would like to attend please come along and we will make you and your child very welcome.

Mission Aviation Fellowship

Young Church is supporting Mission Aviation Fellowship.  MAF is a faith-based, non-profit ministry. Teams of aviation, communications and technology specialists overcome barriers, transform lives, and enable the work of some 600 organizations around the world.  In the summer Junior Church members baked aeroplane shaped cookies which they sold after Church and raised money to support this mission.  As this was such a success we hope to repeat it in the future. >more
