Christ Church is the only English speaking church in the city and surrounding area. It is primarily an Anglican church, belonging to the Church of England’s Diocese in Europe, and is a part of the worldwide Anglican Communion. All our services and most other activities are held in English and we warmly welcome all Christians who wish to worship in English.

 

Lille is a lively European university city with a growing international and cosmopolitan population. Our congregation is interdenominational and multicultural and welcomes people from every part of the world. During recent years, people from around 40 countries and from 6 continents have spent time with us. These have included students who come to study at one of the educational centres in Lille, and families with a parent who works for one of the many multinational companies or international organisations based in the area. Other members are married to French people, and settled here. We also welcome many tourists who are discovering the attractions of Lille.

 
Our Chaplain, Canon Debbie Flach, is an ordained minister of the Church of England, but our congregation is neither expected nor obliged to change their denominational allegiance in order to become a member of the church.
