Friends of Christ Church

There is no denying that Christ Church is an architectural landmark in Erith, standing tall among the ever changing urban landscape. Step into the grounds and you suddenly find a place of peace from the everyday bustle, venture inside the church and admire the impressive stained glass windows and murals. The Victorian Church, consecrated in 1874, is a listed Grade 2 Star building, and together with the bell tower and extensive grounds is not only a place of worship but also a valuable facility for the local community.
 
Friends of Christ Church Erith recognise the importance of the building and the need to maintain the fabric and improve it where possible. Christ Church Erith receives no financial support towards the church's upkeep and repairs (an average of £10,000+ a year) and these are funded by the generosity of the congregation and supporters. 
 
We would truly appreciate you joining us and becoming a Friend of Christ Church Erith. As a Friend it would be entirely up to you to decide how much you would like to be involved. You would receive a welcome pack including a brief history of the building, be invited to exclusive gatherings, have the opportunity of participating in social events and fundraisers, and receive a Friends Newsletter at least once a year. But more than this you would be making a real difference to an important part of Erith’s heritage.
 
By becoming a Friend of Christ Church Erith and kindly making a minimum annual donation (£10 individual/ £15 joint/ £50 corporate), you will be contributing to the funds required by the Parochial Church Council to help maintain the building and its grounds, for the benefit of local people. 
 
If you are not sure, perhaps you are not a church goer or you are of a different faith, we warmly invite you to come and visit Christ Church to see for yourself what a special place we all have here.
