Christ Church, Tetbury is a local ecumenical partnership (LEP) between the former ‘Church of Christ’ United Reformed Church (formerly the Congregational Church), in whose building we are now housed, and the ‘Methodist Church’ which used to meet in a chapel on Long Street, Tetbury. The name was chosen to reflect this when we joined together at Easter 1992.
Our congregation is made up of people with a wide variety of church experiences – Methodist, Anglican, Baptist, URC, Brethren. We are registered for same sex marriages. Whatever your background, you will be assured a warm and friendly welcome at any of our services.
Our hope is that you will experience both a love of God and a love of neighbour within this community. We have a full and varied programme of events at the church, as well as close links with the other churches in and around Tetbury. We are, after all, Christians first, who just happen to worship in different places in a diversity of traditions. If you would like a pastoral visit to chat about a particular issue or problem then please contact our minister, Rev Wendy Tucker, [email protected]
We do not currently have any babies or children worshipping with us regularly but are very happy to welcome visitors of all ages. Toys are available and we are delighted to hear and see children in the church.
Care for the world is important to us at Christ Church and we are proud to hold a bronze Eco Church award from A Rocha.
We are a Fair Trade Church using fairly traded goods whenever possible.
