Welcome
Christ Church loves to welcome visitors from across Swindon and further afield. We are a community of all ages and backgrounds, committed to our vision of connecting the wider community to Christ and you are welcome to join us as we share worship, prayer and fellowship together.
Safeguarding. We take safeguarding very seriously at Christ Church with St. Mary’s. Please follow this link to our policy and guidelines.
The Christ Church community is involved in many areas of local life. As well as offering traditional baptism, marriage, memorial and funeral services, we also work in the community providing chaplaincy, prayer ministry, and by making home visits to those unable to travel.
Our grounds provide a place of quiet and solace, for reflection and remembrance. Our Community centre provides fitness and excercise classes, family parties, meetings, art classes and music.
