Mission
The whole church taking the whole Gospel to the whole world - Christ Church's involvement in world mission. As a church we support five mission organisations spread through the UK and the rest of the world and covering all aspects of Christian mission work. We also provide support under the World Mission programme to members of our own congregation who, either long term or short term, are involved in mission work outside the parish. There are links below giving more information about these different organisations and individuals.
