About Christ the Word Church

Christ the Word is an independent evangelical church that meets in Lakeview village hall Wixams on a Sunday.

Our main meeting is at 10:30am in the man hall at Lakeview village hall. We seek to explain God’s Word, the Bible, in a careful, warm, and relevant way, and give the Bible’s answers to contemporary questions of life.

Between thirty to forty people come along to worship and to seek God, to learn from God’s Word and to chat afterwards. You will receive a warm welcome, with refreshments after the service. We also have a monthly lunch together on a Sunday, followed by a lunchtime meeting.

The word ‘Evangelical’ comes from the word ‘evangel’ meaning ‘good news’ – and that’s exactly what the Christian message is all about. The Bible’s teaches that we can be forgiven by God for all our wrong and receive eternal life, through faith alone in the redeeming work of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross, rising bodily from the dead on the third day. Forgiveness is a gift from God, not something we can earn ourselves by being a good person or being religious. This message is at the very centre of our worship as God’s Word, the Bible clearly teaches. (See Luke 24:46-47; 1 Corinthians 15:1-5).

We also meet on Sundays at 6:30pm to 7:30pm to sing, learn about the work and also the persecution of God’s people in other countries, hear God’s Word the Scriptures expounded and to pray together.

We seek to study the Scriptures in more depth and pray together on Thursday evening 8pm-9:15pm, meeting in one of the member’s home. 

At Christmas we have a Sunday Carol Service (at 10:30am on the Sunday before Christmas) in the main hall, Lakeview village hall.
