Welcome

Christ Church Derby is a friendly, evangelical church in the centre of Derby. We have been brought together by God through the gospel, and enjoy meeting together to praise him each Sunday. We'd love to welcome you, whether you're a committed Christian or just beginning to explore the Christian faith.

Carol Service

This year we have our Carol Service at 4pm on Sunday 15th December. Come and join us for our all age Carol Service. During the service there will be a children's nativity procession during one of the carols. All children are welcome to join in, just bring some nativity dressing up clothes! Mince pies and mulled wine served after the service.

Sunday Services

Sunday morning 10:45am (10:00 for Sunday School) and Sunday evenings at 6:00pm. Refreshments are served before and after the morning service and after the evening service.

What we believe

Put most simply we are a Christian Church, so we try and live according to God's word, the Bible. But often it helps people to know a little more about what we believe the Bible teaches. So we'd also happily say: We are a Conservative Evangelical church. Finally we are a Presbyterian Church (part of the International Presbyterian Church), so our official doctrinal basis is the Westminster Confession of Faith.

Sermons

Since the Pandemic we've been uploading all of our sermons to YouTube. You can view them here.
