Christ Church with St. Philip is an LEP – 'Local Ecumenical Partnership'. Although we were once two congregations – one Methodist, one Anglican – we now live and worship as a single community, sharing every aspect of church life including services, buildings and finance. In our worship and life together we seek to stay faithful to the traditions and practices of both denominations.
We normally have a team of three clergy: an Anglican vicar, a Methodist minister shared with Martin Way Methodist Church, and a part-time Anglican curate. Following the retirement of Rev Charlotte Elvey, the role of Anglican Vicar is currently vacant. A new vicar will be appointed in due course.
