Lancaster Christ Church are incredibly proud of our thriving Choir Church community, led by our Choral Director, Mrs Jayne Crow, alongside our Vicar, Rev'd Carol and Children's Ministry Leader, Innes.

What is Choir Church? 

Choir Church is a model for new worshipping communities, built around children’s choirs in schools, led in partnership with local churches. It offers worship, musical excellence, and spiritual formation designed to build and grow congregations, working for social justice. While it is principally school-based, its worship is open to the wider community of parents, teachers, neighbours and friends.

What happens at Choir Church?

Local school Choir Church builds a new congregation around a children’s choir based in a school, which may or may not be a church school.

Eucharist A children’s choir sings in a Eucharist which is open to all – parents, teachers, and neighbours, including a ‘planting team’ of existing worshippers.

Choral excellence Children learn a wide range of liturgical music, with the English Choral Tradition at its heart, equipping them musically for worship and life.

Social justice The congregation is built and developed using the practices of community organising, so it can work with its neighbours to act on Jesus’ command to challenge injustice.
