We Are Christchurch

Bob Silvester has been part of our church since day one, longer still if you go back to the day he journeyed from Bradford to Risca. Since 2013 he's been on staff, serving the church by pastorally supporting our elderly congregation. In this latest episode of We Are Christchurch, listen in as Bob shares the honour of walking alongside our senior members.

Gavin Smith. He's been part of Christchurch Newport since day one and for 17 years, he's served as our church Administrator. But when it came to Christ and his people, things weren't always that straightforward. Listen in as Gav tells his story; from professional footballer to discovering that Christ is all. Please visit the church office website at www.thechurchoffice.co.uk .

Our God is almighty. He reigns over all things; even down to the minutest of levels. He is the God of Providence. And this is no abstract theology. Listen as Jo Black tells her version of the story God is writing.

2000 years ago, a young couple nursed a newborn child, and celebrated that first Christmas in isolation; far away from friends and family. Their country lived in fear and weeping was heard on the streets. We are not the first to know a cancelled Christmas .   "But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of Dav...

As a follow-up to Sunday's message on friendship , here's a seminar and Q+A that Lewis and Jenny Roderick did for you Ammanford Evangelical Church https://ammanfordchurch.com/ last summer. There's a little bit of overlap in the content, but otherwise, it's a different angle on this important subject.   If you want to skip the seminar and jump into the Q+A, it starts at 47:15

On Monday September 22, the Welsh Government placed Newport in lockdown . In this short message, Pete Greasley explains how this will affect Christchurch.

*Some of this is heavy listening. Listener discretion is advised.* A few weeks ago, I sat in Christchurch member, Naomi Miles' garden and learned about the links that exist between the global porn industry and modern-day slavery.  Few conversations have landed so hard. I left enlightened but brokenhearted for the tens of millions of women (and men) worldwide who live in this darkness. But it doesn...

But lockdown happened, and everything had to change. Put on a brew and listen as Jon Slocombe shares his love and vision for our Foodbank. It was a privilege to si...

On the podcast this week, we listen in as two of our members enjoy the gospel together.  Roo Seadon and Hilary Gillespie come from very different places. Roo's 23, relatively newly married to Dave, and a cancer nurse in Cardiff. Hilary, in her own words, is coming 'to the end of her days' and able to reflect upon decades of walking with Jesus. However, both, like all of us, have known their lives...

Coronavirus has changed the world. But how is it felt on a Scottish scheme?

On Tuesday, May 12, our elders led us in prayer for our church, our city, our nation, our world. For those of you who want to pray again, or weren't able to be with us the first time, here's how we prayed.

Christ is for the nations! The gospel compels us to look beyond the horizon. And from our earliest days as a church, we've endeavoured to partner with and learn from churches across the globe. In recent years, we've been privileged to pray for, visit, send out and financially support congregations in Europe, North America, the Middle East, Asia and Australia. One such church is Projekt Istanbul. I...

Over the August bank holiday, Christchurch Newport joined with 6 other church for The Gathering 2019: a celebration of Jesus and his church. Taking over Aberystwyth university, we delighted in the gospel and knew the (literal) sunshine of affection. It truly was a wonderful time.    In his first message, Mike takes us to Hebrews 10 and shows us the majesty of Jesus.
