Christ our Hope Liverpool

Who we are

Christ our Hope Liverpool is a new single larger Church of England parish serving communities formerly served by 10 churches in the West Derby Deanery area of Liverpool.  This missional development is part of a larger Diocesan strategy, supported by the Church Commissioners, called, ‘Fit for Mission’   We began working together towards this in Spring 2022 and became a new parish in March 2025.  Our priority is ‘growing Christ-centred communities that enable everyone to flourish’.  We have been pressing forward since then, especially in terms of four missional priorities:-

• Introducing people to Jesus
• Deepening discipleship
• Developing Christian leaders
• Working for justice

And focussed on five elements of our life together

• Planting and revitalising
• Working to our strengths in larger teams and portfolios
• High quality support and clear lines of accountability
• Having the right buildings to support future mission
• Larger parishes with high quality support services and simpler administration
