Please think about the way in which you travel here.

We don't have to travel individually and sharing journeys is a way to build friendships and strengthen the community of the church. We also want to be considerate to those living and working near the church as hundreds of people coming to services and events at the church can have an impact.

People's trips to Christ Church are a major part of our environmental impact as a church family; alternatives to the car are important if we are to lower the church's carbon footprint. And of course, walking and cycling are good ways to for us to keep fit.

Car Sharing

Coming to Christ Church by car might be your best option, but could you share your journey? Car-sharing can lower pollution, reduce the potential for accidents, take pressure off parking spaces and save money.

We are developing a car share scheme to make it easier to find people who travel from your area or drive past on the way. In the meantime, perhaps ask your homegroup / small group about who could car share.
