What is St Christopher's church like?
St Christopher's is a warm, friendly church with Sunday worship suitable for all, and a social calendar of barbeques, skittles evenings and similar activities through the year to build up the fellowship. The growth of housegroup membership has had a very positive effect on the fellowship of the church. There are six housegroups attached to St Christopher's with a membership of over 50 in total. We run Christian basics groups regularly, most recently Alpha, and have also run Emmaus courses. St Christopher's also runs Sunbeams, our baby and toddler group.

History of St Christopher's
St Christopher's, built in 1934, is situated in what older residents still refer
to as the "village centre". Although there is not much of a village feel to Cove
now, St Christopher's is located close to two pubs; a parade of shops and businesses
and Cove Green (a public space). Cove Methodist Church is a few hundred yards away.
Other services held at St Christopher's
• Each Wednesday morning at 10am there is a simple Communion Service
We have many other services in the parish.
St Christopher's and the wider community
St Christopher's tries to be visible in the local community. We have good relationships
with Tower Hill primary school as well as links with a local charity "Gateway", which
leads assemblies and helps in RE classes in this school and others. We also have
links with the local sheltered elderly housing scheme Stuart Jones House, and with
two community homes for people with severe learning difficulties. Members of the
church are involved in the two Churches Together in Cove community mission projects
both of which meet in the Methodist Hall (about 100 yards from St Christopher's):
the Cove Child Contact Centre which provides supervised visits for broken families
when the courts have determined that this is appropriate, and Tuesday at Two which
is a club for the elderly or lonely. Cove Parish also supports the Frimhurst Family
Centre and Step-
