Support Us

We are incredibly grateful for all who help in our ministry, whether through volunteering with us or supporting us financially.

Can you help support our ministry with your time and talents?

We encourage helpers in our many activities. We have so much going and are so grateful to our volunteers who are always on the look out for an extra pair of hands. Where appropriate, volunteers would be required to undergo the necessary DBS checks. 

Can you help support our ministry financially?

As well as worship, our ministry includes a Luncheon Club for the elderly; a play-time for adults and children (ABC group) and an abundance of other activities listed on this website.  Whilst in our own right we are a charity we also do much to help other charities such as Urban Outreach, Chrisitan Aid, The Church Mission Society, The Women’s Refuge and Destitution Project, The Mothers' Union and The Children's Society (amongst many others). We are also extrmemly proud of our affiliated uniformed organisations providing education and acitivities for the youth of our parish.  

We strive year on year to continue to be an ever-present fixture in the lives of all those who live within our parish boundaries (and beyond!) and want to continue to remain here for all those who need us for Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals. From time to time we also hold Bible studies and a Theology Book Club.

To maintain our presence in the community can be a costly exercise. Many support us directly from their bank. We can supply bank details and Direct Debit forms. For details please email cch.office@yahoo.co.uk.

You can also donate to us through our Just Giving Page.  This is useful for occasional online giving. https://justgiving.com/christchurchheaton/Donate

Giving through our Patronage Scheme: (Sponsor a day in the calendar which is of particular significance to you and your family). For a gift of £130 you could sponsor a day at Christ Church Heaton. Your name, if you wish, could then be included in the book of sponsors at the back of church.
