Coronavirus update
Due to the coronavirus, all church activities are now suspended. However, even though we cannot meet physically together, we are creating ways for us to be safe, be connected to God and to each other. Scroll further down this page to see how you can connect.
CCS Home Church is back live every Sunday at 10.30am. You can catch up with it on the Christ Church YouTube channel below.
All our video content can be found at:
Each day we are providing a video devotional, Monday to Friday, every week until this crisis is over. We are calling this ‘Daily Connect’ and are reading through the Gospel of John together. There is a reading plan to go with the devotional, in fact you might just want to use the reading plan and not bother with the devotional, that is fine. The more important thing is that we are reading Scripture together – even if we are not all in the same place!
The reading plan takes us all the way through John’s Gospel, although we will be changing the order of the readings so that in Holy Week we are reading passages that are suitable to that season. We will still hold off on the resurrection stories until we get to the end of the Gospel.

The devotional videos will be on our YouTube channel and links will be provided through social media. Please make sure that you subscribe to our channel and also press the bell icon next to ‘Subscribe’ so that you get alerts when new videos are uploaded. You will not get an email every time a video comes out. We are aiming to get the videos out before lunch every day.
Do please also connect with us through our social media channels – FaceBook, Twitter and Instagram.
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.
Café 1821
Café 1821 is now closed until further notice.
