Warley: Christ Church

We are a group of ordinary people who believe that church should be a place to worship together and experience God, an opportunity to make friends, have fun and where lives are greatly transformed.

All are most welcome to our services, which start at 10am each Sunday. We also run a regular café each Thursday, 9am-1pm, which is open to all
