WELCOME
Christ Church is part of the Church of England and is based in Lye in the Black Country. We have a heart for God and His Word. Our church was a gift to the people of Lye and today we are trying to continue that tradition by blessing our community with the love of God and the good news about Jesus Christ. Whatever your background may be, you are welcome to join us and learn more about who we are and the God that we worship.
SERVICES
SUNDAY 10.30AM
This service is usually Holy Communion with contemporary worship music and a children's group available for 3-11s during the service. People of all ages are welcome to attend. We also stream this service live to our Facebook page.
SUNDAY FELLOWSHIP 6.30PM
This fellowship is informal and is discussion led. We usually have a couple of worship songs, say some prayers and watch a Bible-based teaching video followed by a discussion. No prior knowledge is needed to attend.
FRIDAY 12PM
This service is quieter and more traditional than our Sunday Services. We follow a midweek Service of the Word based on the Common Worship liturgy. You can join us for coffee at Open Door too. All are welcome.
