Welcome
Mission and Evangelism by Example and Encouragement
We are an Anglican Anglo-Catholic community that brings God's word and sacraments to the people of Brunswick and surrounds. We are an inclusive and outward looking church that lives and teaches the Christian faith providing a focal point for worship using traditional and modern expressions of Catholic worship within the Anglican context through the use of the Book of Common Prayer (BCP 1928) and A Prayer Book for Australia (APBA). Our community is diverse - young, old, rich and poor - everybody is welcome at Christ Church. We are a congregation which is caring and accepting of all people. The Vicar is Father Robert Newton.

Christ Church has an active choir which is always looking for new members. If you are keen to improve your singing and would like to learn wonderful music in a liturgical setting, come along to a Sung Eucharist on Sunday morning and meet the choir afterwards at morning tea. The great thing about singing in a church choir is that you get a gig EVERY Sunday.
