Church Open for Private Prayer
Christ Church is open for private prayer 11am – 2pm on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.
We’ve started a great new weekly series of videos called Deeper in which we look at the previous Sunday sermon and aim to go deeper with it. You can find it on our CCS YouTube channel.
CAFE 1821 IS OPEN
Cafe 1821 is open again! We are open 11am – 3pm on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
EXPLORE ONLINE ALPHA
We are currently running online Alpha Courses.
We’d love you to join us on Alpha. If you’re interested, please drop us a line at:
office@christchurchsouthport.org.uk
People who attend the course still see the Alpha videos as normal and are able to discuss the material in groups, just as before. The only difference is that it’s all from the comfort of their home!
Visit our Alpha page here.
Even though we are starting to meet at church on Sundays, CCS Home Church will still be live online every Sunday at 10.30am.
Join with us this Sunday morning on the CCS YouTube channel.
We have amazing content being put up every day for CCS Minis, Kids and Youth through social media and our YouTube channel.

Pastoral Care
Jesus calls us to care for and love each other. Even though we can’t do that face to face for the time being, we want to support you in any way we can during this time. If you are self isolating, please be in contact with Matthew in the office (office@christchurchsouthport.org.uk or 01704 531756) so that we can be in contact with you and see if we can help you in any way. If you are feeling isolated we would encourage you to phone each other and have regular conversations to make each other laugh and give support. So that we can all do that effectively, we would encourage you to make your phone number visible in ChurchSuite, so we can phone each other.
Safeguarding
Christ Church Southport takes its duty and obligation to protect all extremely seriously. We have adopted the national Church of England’s robust procedures and guidelines. You can find out more about the national policies and procedures at the Church Of England website.
If you have any safeguarding concerns or issues on a safeguarding matter then you can find useful contact information at the Diocese of Liverpool website.
Contact Emily Stanford, the safeguarding officer for CCS if you have a concern on 01704 531756, or email emily@christchurchsouthport.org.uk
