Christ Church is the Anglican parish
church for the parish of Crookham - a busy
residential parish of some 15000 people, comprising
the area of Fleet to the south of the Basingstoke
Canal, all of Church Crookham, and Crookham Village.
The church was built in 1841 to serve the growing
population of the area at that time. It is the
oldest church in the locality, and is a real gem of
Victorian architecture and art.
Sunday worship attracts a large - and diverse -
congregation. It is based around the Eucharist, and
we enjoy good liturgy, music and preaching.
Traditional worship is complemented with monthly
sung Matins, whilst the Family Eucharist on the 3rd
Sunday of each month offers a more contemporary
style, as do occasional evening services.
Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals also form a
significant part of our ministry to the parish.
We seek to promote the relevance and challenge of
the Gospel - the `good news of Jesus Christ’ - to
the whole community. This is undertaken through
strong links to local schools (especially our
church-aided Crookham Infant School), and through
many other organisations, including Playgroup,
Parent and Toddler group, Brownies, Art Classes, a
self-help group, Wives Group and Mothers Union.

For young people, a very active Sunday School and
Crèche take place during worship. Singing is led by
youngsters in the choir, and we have an instrumental
band for the Family Eucharist. A Youth Club meets
weekly and is very popular, whilst for adults our
Thursday `Chat Café’ offers the opportunity to chat
over tea or coffee about every subject under the
sun.
Whether you are a visitor, a newcomer to the area,
or an established resident, we invite you to `Come,
and See’: we assure you that you will be most
welcome.
