What Other Activities and Facilities Does Christ Church Ottershaw Offer?
Updated
Christ Church Ottershaw runs more than Sunday services. Beyond worship, the church hosts a weekly baby and toddler group, two sets of youth groups for different school years, a CAMEO Coffee Morning, and it makes its hall available for hire. If you want to join something, the two practical routes are the events calendar on ottershawchurch.com and direct contact with the organisers named for each group.
Regular community and family activities
Baby and Toddler Group
- When: Monday mornings during school term time, 10:00–11:30.

Youth groups
The church runs two age-banded youth groups, both meeting every other week:

| Hi-5 & Fusion | Years 5 and 6 | Alternate Mondays, 18:30–20:00 |
| Inspire & The Edge | Years 7 and 8 | Alternate Tuesdays, 18:30–20:30 |
Both are described as fun and engaging. For details, contact Mandi on 07747 134593.
CAMEO Coffee Morning
CAMEO is listed as one of the church's regular community gatherings. It appears alongside Families, Youth and Get Involved in the site's main navigation, so the current day, time and venue are best confirmed on the site or by asking the church directly rather than assuming a fixed slot.
Sunday services at a glance
If you are planning a visit around another activity, these are the services listed:
- Holy Communion with hymns — 09:00–09:50, a traditional service of Holy Communion.
- Morning Worship — 10:30–11:30 on the first and third Sundays of the month, with worship songs and children's groups running in the Parish Hall.
Hiring the hall
Christ Church offers Hall Hire, listed in the site navigation. The published material does not state rates, capacity, or booking conditions, so treat those as things to confirm with the church. When you enquire, it helps to have ready:
- Your preferred date and an alternative.
- The type of event and approximate number of attendees.
- Whether you need the Parish Hall, the Parish Centre, or both.
- Any setup, kitchen, or accessibility requirements.
Getting involved and checking what's on
- Get Involved is a standing section of the site for volunteering and participation.
- Events and the "What's happening at Christ Church" listings carry dated entries — for example, the baby and toddler group and youth groups are shown as recurring "Multiple Dates" items.
- Life Events covers weddings, baptisms and funerals, with guidance on how the church can help.
- Download provides the week's church notices as a file, useful for one-off changes that don't appear in the calendar.
- About Us, Meet the Team and Contact let you reach the right person directly.
Because group schedules run on term time or alternate weeks, and one-off events change regularly, check the events calendar or contact the named organiser before turning up. For hall hire and anything not covered on the site, the Contact page is the starting point.
