Welcome
We believe that the door to salvation is always open and so are the doors to our church. Our mission is to be fully devoted to Jesus Christ by opening our arms to those in search of the truth. We show God’s love and concern for our fellow man at every opportunity, through works of charity and opening our doors to listen, share and love.
Weddings
Our Church offers a traditional, unique and exceptionally beautiful setting for your most sacred and special celebration. The canal is
to one side, the River Lune across the road, with the Bowland and Lakeland Fells as a backdrop.
Our wonderful Grade II listed Church really does make a stunning wedding venue.
Please contact the Vicar, Rev. Gary Lewis, to enquire about dates and feel free to call into Christ Church at any time.

DIOCESAN SAFEGUARDING

We have also displayed the Promoting a Safer Church poster prominently within our church.
All those working with children and adults at risk have undergone safer recruitment, received safeguarding training and support.
Reporting a Concern
Any safeguarding concerns in a parish should be brought to the attention of your local Parish Safeguarding Officer(s) (PSO) in the first instance (Please see the 'People' section of this website or the church noticeboard for contact details) who can seek further advice from Catherine Smith, the Diocesan Safeguarding Officer (DSO), as necessary.
Safeguarding concerns in a school/ university/ prison/ healthcare setting should be raised with the relevant organisation's Safeguarding Team
