If you're looking for a youthful energy (regardless of your age!) and passion for the word of God you've found the right place. Life changing, gentle and committed to the community.

From the owner: We are excited about seeing people connecting to Jesus Christ & His Church and experiencing the…read morelife giving freedom only to be found and experienced through Christ. Our services are God centred, dynamic and inspirational and expectant of God to move in our lives. We gather together, people of all ages, nationalities and backgrounds imaginable, unified in one common thing and with one common cause: our relationship with Jesus Christ. We are friendly and we use lights, projectors and multi-media. The preaching is about God, His Word and His incredible love for people. We have a passion to help you wherever you are in your life's journey. We believe that He wants your life to be better and to use you to effectively and positively touch 'your world' with the great news of Jesus. And so, sometimes we laugh and sometimes we cry but we always pray and agree and believe. At the end of every service there is an invitation to everyone to join in with this incredible life in Jesus Christ. Life Church is led by Pastors Steve and Suzanne Martin. They have been in ministry for over 20 years, ministering effectively to Youth before pioneering Life Church.

We arrived at the Priory at the same time as a bride! We weren't able to go in this time…read more A church has existed on this site since 800AD. In 1094 a Priory was built by Ranulph Flambard. It is by repute the longest Parish Church in England. Simon Jenkin's book 'A Thousand Best Churches describes the Priory as 'one of the least appreciated of Grand Churches'. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicles record that in 634AD Birinus, a missionary priest sent by Pope Honorius landed in Britain, and in 635 baptised King Cynegils of Wessex a Christian. It is thought he may have founded a Saxon Prory at thuinam for his work in this part of the country. Thuinus was a fine harbour at the confluence of the Rivers Stour and Avon. There is no specific evidence of this, but it is reasonably certain that Thuinam was of sufficient importance to be listed by Alfred the Great as a fortified borough. The Domeday survey of 1086 records that there was a Priory of 24 secular canons here in the reign of King Edward the Confessor (1042-1066). In 1094, Ranulf Flambard, a chief minister of William II (Rufus) began to build a Norman church on the site of the Priory. So let us hope that the marriage last Friday will do justice to the length of time this place of worship has stood here

Christchurch Priory is over 900 years old, but still in great shape. Located in the town centre…read morewith beautiful riverside walks around it, it is a super building to wander round especially if you are after a moment of quiet, contemplative tranquility. There is a great deal of history attached to the church and several fascinating stories, not least one relating to the 'miraculous beam'. You can see a beam up in the rafters that folklore says was cut too short during construction. The carpenters left for the night, but not before one noticed a stranger heading towards the beam. The next day the same carpenters found the beam spanning the gap at the correct length and the story continues that the stranger must have been Jesus Christ, hence Christ's Church. When considering a visit, check to see if you can climb the stpes of the tower for wonderful views over the town.
