A warm welcome awaits you at Christ Church,

which has been at the heart of the community in the

Seaside area of Eastbourne for 165 years.

In 2009 we merged with our neighbouring parish to become

Christ Church with St Philip

We worship in the Anglo-Catholic tradition with a main

Parish Mass at 11.00am on Sunday.

Fr Joshua Delia is Priest-in-Charge of Christ Church.

He is shared with the neighbouring parish of St Andrew's, Seaside.

Details of weekly Masses can be found on the "Services & Events" page

and on the "Christ Church, Eastbourne" Facebook page.

Regular weekly activities are "Knit & Natter" on Tuesdays,

and a Prayer Group on Fridays.

Occasional fundraising activities include fairs, music and song recitals,

talks and entertainments from professional performers

and Quiz Nights.

Christ Church is renowned for its Father Willis organ, installed in 1880,

which is said to be one of the finest on the south coast.

Regular organ recitals are held.

The church also has an excellent grand piano.

With comfortable, flexible seating, the church can be hired by local clubs, groups and societies for events, concerts and as a rehearsal space, and there are kitchen facilities for making teas and coffees at the back of the church. There are also church halls, with a fully fitted kitchen, that are regularly booked by the local community for meetings, and by private individuals for birthday and anniversary parties.

Christ Church is home to the Matthew 25 Mission charity, which occupies the Brodie Hall adjacent to the car park. A weekly Mass is held at Christ Church for M25M.

Matthew 25 gets its name from the Bible and is a community-based charity that assists those in need, offering practical support and advice to all within our community regardless of race, religion, sexuality or gender. Matthew 25 provides a listening ear and sympathetic pastoral care and guidance, as well as addressing practical issues such as the provision of food, clothing and furniture.
