ABOUT US
Our aim is to glorify God by building each other up and making Jesus known in our communities.
This is a whole church vision, so we encourage everyone to be involved in some aspect of the church's life and ministry.
The PCC (our church council) meets six times a year, under the leadership of the vicar. There are small hubs (or sub-committees) that oversee key areas of work, such as children's work, overseas mission, discipleship and learning, maintaining the fabric of the building, etc.
Supporting and helping to lead the church in mission and ministry are several full-time or part-time staff, as well as our churchwardens and lay readers.
Rev Dominic Newstead - Vicar
Dominic moved to Little Heath with his family in 2016, to join Christ Church as our vicar.
Rev Chris Edwards - Assistant Curate
Chris joined us as our curate (a trainee assistant minister) in summer 2018, along with his wife Karen and their two children.
Karen Sleeman - Pastoral Care and Biblical Counselling Intern
Karen is our Pastoral Care and Biblical Counselling Intern, seeking to help us better care for one another and bring more of Jesus into our lives.
