Christ Church Matchborough

Christ Church Matchborough (B98 0EP) is a community focused, welcoming and active community. We have a mixed
demographic of ages, among our regular worshippers are families with young children through to older people. We
are part of the Ipsley Benefice (www.ipsley.org). Matchborough itself is an urban estate with many households on
low incomes.

We are a worshipping and praying community committed to sharing the good news and love of Jesus.

Worship

We currently hold one Sunday worship service a week at 10:30 am, the services vary between Morning Worship,
Holy Communion and All-Age Worship. During each service, there are regularly 6-12 children who go out to Junior
Church, which is a time for age-related Bible teaching and activities.

We have many regular activities open to all, including:

• Open Door, coffee and chat for the community
• Sparklers, for pre-school children and parents/carers
• FunDays on Sundays, fun, games, drinks, snacks and a chat
• The Wave Youth Group

We have good relationships with the local schools and nursery, regularly welcoming them into church at Easter,
Harvest and Christmas.

which is used by a local nursery (Noah’s Ark), Brownies and our youth group. Both the church and the church hall
