Christ Church, Seaside - Latest News

Christ Church, Eastbourne [link]
The Parish Church of the Seaside district of Eastbourne, worshipping in the Catholic tradition of the Church of England.

Our Lord Jesus Christ is the King of creation, universal and omnipotent, who submitted himself to birth in a stable and a criminal's death so that no-one who believes in him should ever suffer eternal damnation in hell.

He gave himself at the Last Supper to be our spiritual food, sustaining us on the Way. The bread and wine offered in the Eucharist are a sacrament: the outward, visible matter by which the inward, spiritual grace is given. Christ is present in, indeed is, the bread and wine: so it is treated with reverence.

Worship at Christ Church emphasises Christ's glory: rich vestments are worn; the ceremony is that of a king. Every sense is involved in worship: sight; touch and taste when we take the Blessed Sacrament; hearing with the music and bells; and smell in our occasional use of incense.

Access for visiting is possible via Oasis, in the Brodie Hall adjacent to the main door.
