Rooted in Liverpool. Planting for the region.

Fewer than 3% of people in the UK have any meaningful connection with a church. Five minutes on why we're building a home for our city.

Who We Are

Since 2003, a vibrant city centre church family

Since 2003, Christ Church Liverpool has grown into a vibrant city centre church family, training and sending people across Liverpool and beyond. Church planting and training is at the very core of who we are. By God's grace, we've planted or helped revitalise six churches, and we partner with other organisations who seek to equip the church.

The Problem

Not having our own building
is stunting our impact

📈

At Capacity

We've reached capacity → no room for new people causes diminished impact.

🏠

Fragmented

Separate/multiple venues → fragmented community, limited weekday ministry, wasted time and resources.

🔑

Renters, Not Owners

No security and stops long‑term investment. We could lose our venue on very short notice.

Our Story

Christ Church Liverpool

Christ Church Liverpool logo Founded 2003

A gospel-centred church for a city in regeneration

Christ Church Liverpool (CCL) was founded in 2003. As Liverpool City Centre entered a sustained period of regeneration, a group of bible believing Christians saw the need for a gospel centred bible church for believers moving into the centre. There is now a regular gathering on Sundays of 200 adults and 50 children attending, and 140 members.

CCL affiliates with Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches (FIEC) and the North West Gospel Partnership. In addition, we partner with North West Church Resources to maintain facilities for theological training, providing a training site for Union School of Theology. The church also provides an office and base for the Alliance for Transatlantic Theological Training (AT3), a young charity seeking to link US and UK churches.

Our Impact

Planted, revitalised, and sent

Since then we've planted or helped revitalize six churches, and we continue to train and send leaders for new works (including our next revitalisation in Kirkby). People have gone abroad to bring the gospel to people who have not heard it — we are the sending church for 2 people currently serving in North Africa, and we support workers in Australia, France, Argentina, and Sheffield.

What is Distinctive?

Investing in the city. Training to send

Mindful of the Great Commission, Christ Church is determined to invest in the city centre to engage with the culture of Liverpool in all walks of life. It's also committed to training to prepare people to serve and promote church planting and revitalisation.

Edge Lane is the next step: a permanent home that secures training, sending and city-wide hospitality for the long term.

So... what's the challenge? →
The Challenge

Here's our challenge...

We want to reach more people with the Gospel. And that means we need more churches, more people trained and sent, more outreach and ministries. But not having our own building is stunting this impact.

01

Capacity

We literally can't fit more people in on a Sunday! We have no room to welcome more people to hear the Gospel. Without a growing membership we are also unable to grow to a size of church which can sustain further staff, expanding ministries or start new ministries. We want to train more, plant more, send more but currently struggle to have the capacity to do so.

02

Ownership

We need a home to help us have a bigger impact for the city. Our lack of ownership limits our investment in our spaces, equipment, furniture, signage, and it weakens our sense of identity. The temporary and split site setup means our spaces aren't as visible, inviting or functional as we'd like. It creates a fragmented church experience and weakens our identity.

03

Tenancy Means Insecurity

As renters, not residents, we're at risk of needing to find a new venue. We could be left without somewhere to meet at very short notice, with no other viable alternatives in the city. Being renters not home owners is frustratingly limiting and inefficient.

With your help, we have the solution

See what this achieves →
What This Achieves

What this building means

A permanent home at Edge Lane will turn weekly logistics into daily ministry. It will give us space to encounter Jesus, grow disciples, deepen community, serve Liverpool, multiply churches, and build for future generations until Jesus returns. Not just on Sundays, but all week long.

Encounter icon
A Home for

Encounter

Liverpool is a city full of people longing for meaning, connection, and hope. A substantive home gives us a set-apart space where people can meet Jesus, grow in faith, and experience the presence of God without limits. No more borrowed rooms or constrained schedules — a place where worship, prayer, and community can take root every day of the week.

A building becomes more than walls; it becomes a place of encounter that leads to transformed lives.

Discipleship icon
A Home for

Discipleship

We believe growth happens best in consistency. A substantive base allows us to build rhythms of learning, training, and mentoring that shape disciples for a lifetime. With rooms for courses, youth gatherings, pastoral care, prayer ministry and leadership development, we can invest deeply in people — not just programs.

A building gives us the space to deeply serve Liverpool. Believers, leaders, and culture‑shapers for our city.

Community icon
A Home for

Community

Christ Church Liverpool has always been a family — but a family needs a kitchen table. A building gives us a space to gather, eat, celebrate, support one another, and open our doors to anyone who needs belonging. From midweek groups to family events to student dinners, it becomes the heartbeat of our shared life in a way we've never had before.

A substantive home strengthens community and makes room for every person that comes through our doors.

Mission icon
A Home for

Mission

We exist not just for ourselves, but for Liverpool and the whole world. A substantive home allows us to serve our city with consistency and compassion. From welcoming asylum seekers to walking with people through Explore, training believers in the Word, and partnering with churches across our region, this building gives us room to deepen the ministries that shape and send people out.

It becomes a visible, stable presence of hope in the city, a light on a street that people know they can turn to. A building anchors our mission and multiplies our impact.

Multiplication icon
A Home for

Multiplication

For 23 years, Christ Church Liverpool has planted new churches, revitalised struggling ones, and equipped leaders to take the gospel into new places — from launches here in the city to helping spark new work in Manchester, and now investing deeply in our next revitalisation in Kirkby. Multiplication isn't a side project for us; it's part of who we are.

A permanent building becomes the base that strengthens this calling. A building fuels our long‑term vision: not just to build one church, but to keep multiplying healthy churches across our region.

The Future icon
A Home for

The Future

This building marks a new season of growth, stability, and long‑term vision for our church. It provides the space and capacity we've never had before, allowing us to grow, to adapt, and to dream beyond the limitations we've previously faced. And if God grows us beyond this building one day, this is the foundation that will make the next step possible.

A building secures our future and amplifies everything God has called us to do next.

Outward Impact

Giving back to Liverpool

Grow & Send

Making room to grow means we can train leaders, build ministries and send new churches for decades to come, multiplying gospel impact across our region.

Serve The City

A stable, designed-for-purpose hub strengthens our identity and hospitality, opening more opportunities for consistent community outreach (e.g. courses, youth, meals, Hope Cafe).

Security for Generations

Moving from renting to ownership frees us from instability and inefficiency, giving the church a secure launchpad for long-term mission.

Shared Calling

Partner with us

This is a shared calling and a long-term investment in God's mission. A gift to this project is not a gift to a building. It is an investment in a gospel engine for a city, a region, and the nations, until Jesus returns.

We're trusting God to provide all we need, and to do it through us. It's not about equal gifts, but equal sacrifice as we each play our part.

By God's grace we have already raised £1.1m for the purchase of the building. Now we need to raise a further £3.4m to bring it to life.

Generously Giving

One-off or regular monthly giving: every gift matters.

Two ways to give

We're deeply grateful for both. If you are discerning between the two, here's how to think about the impact:

One-off Gift (today)

One off gifts help significantly with up front costs (purchase and initial works), and go further in real terms because they aren't eroded by future inflation; they also reduce the risk of cost increases over time.

Regular Monthly Giving

Regular monthly gifts enable broad participation and sustainable planning, spreading the journey across many seasons.

Give Securely

What it could take to get there

No single gift carries this. Here's a picture of how 460 acts of generosity, at every level, add up to the remaining £3.4m we need.

A Home For Our City giving pyramid Giving levels needed to reach the 3.4 million pound fundraising target: 10 givers of 100,000 pounds each raising 1,000,000 pounds; 30 givers of 20,000 pounds raising 600,000 pounds; 60 givers of 10,000 pounds raising 600,000 pounds; 120 givers of 5,000 pounds raising 600,000 pounds; 240 givers of 2,500 pounds raising 600,000 pounds; for a total of 460 givers raising 3,400,000 pounds. £100,000 | 10 givers | £1,000,000 £20,000 | 30 givers | £600,000 £10,000 | 60 givers | £600,000 £5,000 | 120 givers | £600,000 £2,500 | 240 givers | £600,000 TOTAL | 460 givers | £3,400,000

Equal sacrifice, not equal gifts

Students / Early-Career Adults

For students and those early in their careers, your capacity will look different, but your participation deeply matters. A small, regular monthly gift is a powerful way to say: "I'm part of this story." Even £20-£40 a month is genuine sacrifice in this season and sets lifelong patterns of generosity.

Consider:

  • A simple monthly gift
  • A one off gift at a meaningful moment
  • Offering "first fruits" when employment begins

Half of our church were not here ten years ago. This is your moment to shape our future.

Young Professionals / Singles

For those in stable work but without large family costs, this may be a season where you can lean in. A consistent monthly gift, perhaps stretching to the point you feel it, could help lay foundations for ministry and mission far beyond this building.

Consider:

  • £30-£100/month
  • A one off "first big generosity step"
  • Committing a work bonus or annual pay rise uplift

What you give may not be huge in scale, but it can be huge in faith.

Families

For families, life is stretched. Childcare, mortgages, rising costs. This building will serve your children and the next generation until Jesus comes again. A thoughtful monthly gift, perhaps by adjusting lifestyle costs together as a family, is a meaningful act of shared sacrifice.

Consider:

  • £50-£200/month depending on means
  • Involving children: a family "giving jar" or shared decision about sacrificing a holiday upgrade or subscription
  • A regular monthly gift aligned with existing family budgets

Your sacrifice is measured in love, not in comparison with others.

Established Givers / Empty-Nesters

For those with reduced financial pressures or increased capacity, this could be a once-in-a-generation moment to accelerate our mission growth. We invite you to consider a leadership level gift, not out of pressure, but as worship and vision.

Consider:

  • £200-£1,000+/month depending on capacity
  • Larger one-off gifts that anchor planning
  • Multi-year structured commitments

Some of you have been entrusted with more in this season. If the Lord leads, your generosity could unlock ministry beyond our city, until the Lord returns.

We know our seasons and circumstances differ. Faithfulness isn't measured by the size of the gift, but by the depth of the sacrifice. Please give prayerfully, in line with your means, with joy and realism over the coming years.

Before you give, please take time to pray, to talk at home, and to ask: What would sacrificial participation look like in my season?

UK Taxpayers

Make your gift go 25% further with Gift Aid

If you're a UK taxpayer, Gift Aid allows us to reclaim 25p from HMRC for every £1 you give — at no extra cost to you. A £1,000 gift becomes £1,250. Across the whole campaign, Gift Aid could add hundreds of thousands of pounds towards our goal.

Simply tick the Gift Aid box when you give online, or ask us for a declaration form. If you pay tax at the higher rate, you can also claim additional relief through your Self Assessment tax return.

£1 → £1.25

Every eligible gift, boosted by 25%

Give with Gift Aid

You must be a UK taxpayer and pay enough Income or Capital Gains Tax to cover the Gift Aid reclaimed on your donations in the tax year.

Governance & Accountability

How your gift is safeguarded

Every gift to this campaign goes into our restricted Building Fund, which may only be spent on the building project itself — the purchase of 145 Edge Lane, professional and legal fees, removal costs, and the refurbishment, renovations, furnishings and equipment needed to bring it into use. It cannot be diverted to general church running costs.

Once the building is fully fitted out, any funds remaining will be put towards its ongoing repairs, renovations and future building works.

Christ Church Liverpool is a registered charity (No. 1125990), and the fund is overseen by our trustees with independently examined annual accounts. If you have any questions about how gifts are held or spent, we'd be glad to talk — just email office@christchurchliverpool.org.

Resources & Downloads

Take the campaign with you

Whether you're giving personally, bringing this to your church, or reviewing it for a trust, these documents are here to help.

Gift Aid

The simplest way to give is online, where you can add Gift Aid with a tick box as you give. If you're giving by bank transfer or standing order instead, download our Gift Aid declaration, complete it on your computer or by hand, and return it to office@christchurchliverpool.org. It lets us claim an extra 25% on your gift at no cost to you.

Higher rate tax guidance

If you pay tax at the higher or additional rate, you can personally reclaim the difference between your rate and the basic rate on everything you give under Gift Aid. Our guide sets out how that works, what you're eligible for, and how to claim it.

These documents are designed to be shared with your leadership or missions team. The one-page summary gives the campaign at a glance; the case for support tells the fuller story. If your church is considering a grant from its missions budget, we're glad to provide a grant agreement and regular reporting: email office@christchurchliverpool.org to start the conversation.

Our case for support sets out the project, budget, phasing and outcomes in full. Christ Church Liverpool is a registered charity (No. 1125990); our record on the Charity Commission register, including trustees and independently examined accounts, is available for due diligence. For anything further, contact office@christchurchliverpool.org.

Spread The Word

Sharing Widely

One of the most valuable things you can do costs nothing. Many of the people and churches who will help carry this project simply haven't heard about it yet, and the way they will hear is through someone like you.

If this vision resonates, please share it with friends, family, and churches who might want to partner with us. Send them to homeforourcity.org, mention it in conversation, or pass on our one-page summary, which gives the whole campaign at a glance.

The Location

Why Edge Lane?

145 Edge Lane is right along one of the main arteries of the city at the edge of the city centre. It offers a unique opportunity to secure a long-term, practical home for Christ Church Liverpool in a location that works for people from all over the city. A perfect place to gather people across Liverpool to then be sent out for God's glory.

145 Edge Lane, Liverpool

Tap to load map

Prominent and Highly Visible

Situated on one of Liverpool's major routes into the city centre, the building sits where tens of thousands of people pass by every week. Christ Church Liverpool would become instantly visible to commuters, students, residents and visitors entering the city.

Easy to Reach from Across the City Region

Highly accessible for those who live across Liverpool. Edge Lane provides excellent transport links and is easy to travel to by car.

Room to Grow

The detached building offers two main floors of usable space, plus a top-floor former flat that can be adapted. As the site stands in its own grounds, we can expand without restrictions. This allows us to create a dedicated church centre, as well as meeting rooms, midweek space, offices and more.

Space for a New Worship Hall

The land beside the building provides enough room to build a large, purpose-built hall seating around 400 people. A one-site home for Sundays and the wider ministries of the church.

A Long-Term Asset

Although the building requires full refurbishment to meet 2026 standards, once renovated it will have the same lifespan and reliability as a new build does.

In Summary

Edge Lane gives us visibility, accessibility, space to grow, and the opportunity for a full one-site solution in a strategically significant part of the city.

Expenses and Costs

To bring 145 Edge Lane into full long-term use

The project is divided into clear phases. The actual timing of these works will depend upon fundraising. Our dream would be to do all the works at the same time, so as to maximise efficiencies and cost savings.

Phase 1

Purchase & Essential Works

£1.4m

£1.0m purchase + £0.4m initial works. This phase brings the building into immediate operational use, including key repairs, essential ground-floor refurbishment, and initial compliance work.

Phase 2

Full Refurbishment

£1.1m

Additional cost (total building refurbishment: £1.5m). This includes roof replacement, lift installation, improved energy efficiency, electrical upgrades, air-conditioning replacement, staircase safety works and full internal finishes.

Phase 3

New Worship Hall Build

£2.0m

A purpose built hall seating around 400, enabling the whole church to meet on one site with room to grow.

Total Estimated Project Cost: £4.5m

By comparison, demolishing the existing building and constructing a fully new complex would be approximately £5.8m, making this approach a strong and cost-effective investment.

Good to Know

These phases allow us to begin using the site quickly, complete the building systematically, and create a sustainable home for Christ Church Liverpool. Once completed, the building will provide a long-term, high quality, flexible space for church life and midweek ministry.

Commonly Asked Questions

FAQ

  • Well equipped facilities to host teaching, training, and conferences of the wider network. It will be a place for education resources aiming to grow the current and next generation of leaders in collaboration with our partners (see Our Story page).
  • Bigger capacity. More people means affording more staff, interns, trainees, future missionaries and church plants.
  • Secure (can't be kicked out, a stable base).
  • Designed (better equipment, rooms designed for us, have spaces we don't currently have i.e. library, study space, use of the 3rd floor flat for people to stay).
  • Much less time and effort spent on logistics. More time investing in people. The "tools of ministry" are always ready.
  • Helps to cultivate and build a CCL culture. Temporary spaces means we're more fragmented and go off to other places more quickly. More people hanging around creates opportunities for spontaneous discipleship.
  • Visibility and prominence. If we are sending people out, having a stable hub makes it easier and more impactful when people signpost to us. Much harder invite when people don't know who we are or where we are.

Yes. While we have completed the purchase of 145 Edge Lane, elements of the project, including the proposed new purpose-built hall, will require planning permission from Liverpool City Council. We are committed to working openly and constructively with the council's planning team throughout the process, and we will keep this page updated as the application progresses.

This will be far more than a Sunday venue. It will be in use throughout the week, serving people across the city. Our ministries include:

  • Youth groups and toddler groups running through the week, giving young people and families in the area a safe, welcoming space to build friendships, be supported, and grow.
  • Hope Cafe, a cafe for asylum seekers and refugees, offering friendship, English lessons, and practical support including clothes and furniture.
  • Exploring Christianity, a no-pressure course open to anyone curious about the Christian faith, whatever their background or beliefs.
  • Student dinners, offering hospitality and a welcoming space to the many students who live and study across the city.
  • A permanent home would also let us host community meals and family fun days open to everyone in the neighbourhood.

A permanent home at 145 Edge Lane means these ministries can grow, with dedicated spaces designed around the people they serve.

Yes. We want to be good neighbours on Edge Lane, and we intend to engage positively with local residents and businesses to build positive and constructive relationships as our plans develop and before any planning application is submitted. If you live or work nearby and have questions or thoughts about the project, we'd genuinely love to hear from you, so please email office@christchurchliverpool.org.

Matters such as access, parking, and traffic will be addressed fully as part of the planning process, with professional advice. The site sits on a major arterial route with good public transport links. Sunday mornings, when our main gathering takes place, are also naturally one of the quietest times for general traffic and commuter demand in the area, so any impact is minimal even then. For the rest of the week, day-to-day activity will be much lighter still, with smaller groups using the building at different times. We will work with the council and our neighbours to make sure the building is a positive addition to the area: a well-kept, active building serving the community week-round, rather than one standing empty.

Yes. Every gift to this campaign goes into our restricted Building Fund, which may only be spent on the building project itself: the purchase of 145 Edge Lane, professional and legal fees, removal costs, and the refurbishment, renovations, furnishings and equipment needed to bring it into use. It cannot be diverted to general church running costs. You can read more about how gifts are safeguarded on our Partner With Us page.

Any funds remaining once the building is fully fitted out will stay in the restricted Building Fund and be put towards its ongoing repairs, renovations and future building works, so every gift continues to serve the long-term home of the church.

Yes, we'd love to partner with churches and individuals in the US, and we're grateful for the strong gospel links between our countries. More information on the best and most tax-efficient ways to give from the US is coming soon. In the meantime, please contact office@christchurchliverpool.org and we'll gladly advise.

Following the initial refurbishment, we hope to be using the building for mid-week ministry from Q2 2027. We then hope to build the new worship hall over the next 2–5 years, subject to planning permission, and the sooner we raise the money, the quicker this will happen!
