Christ Church has a unique personality and style, – emerging as a new fellowship when two local churches – Lightcliffe United Reformed Church and Hipperholme Methodist Church – joined together.
It’s an LEP – a Local Ecumenical Partnership - in more ways than one, with Lively Enthusiastic People involved in Local/ Ecumenical Projects along with Laughter, Evangelism and Praise!
