Who are we?
There has been a Christ Church in Oswestry since the 1660's. We are a community of Christians, which means we live to love God and other people through Jesus Christ.Where are we?
Christ Church is a community of people who share a common trust in Jesus Christ. So as a Church we exist wherever we live, work, shop and play, expressing our faith in love. But we also want to meet together to worship God. The main place we do this is in our building, which is between Oswestry castle mound and public library.What do we do?
Firstly, all who can do so join together on Sundays to worship God. We do this mainly on Sundays because that is the day that Jesus Christ rose from the dead. But whether on a Sunday or another day all our worship is a celebration of the living God and the life He gives us: the life to live truly and well in the world; the life that evil and death cannot defeat.We also meet together in the week in our church buildings, and in our homes to help each other live the Christian life, to care for others and to share the good news of God's love.
We are attempting all this from a long tradition, which involves both change and challenge, as our journey into God's future is blessed with the faith of those who have gone before us while being filled with our own present hope in the promises of God.
This website can only give you a snapshot of who we are and what we are doing, which we pray is all to the glory of the One God, the Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
"I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy, and pleasing to God - this is [our] spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - His good, pleasing and perfect will." [Romans 12:1-2 NIV]
