At the heart of our church is a community of people. People who are learning to receive and share the love of God through Jesus Christ from a diverse set of backgrounds, ages and experiences.

We want to be a church that equips each other for everyday life following Jesus as members both of our church community and wider area, providing opportunities to grow in faith and serve the community in Southborough around us.

We want to welcome everyone at any stage of faith or life - we welcome many who wouldn’t yet call themselves Christians. Many have found that Christ Church offers a ‘safe-place’ to learn and ask questions.

We look forward to meeting you.

OUR RECTOR

Introducing the Revd Daniel Bauhahn

Daniel spent much of his early childhood with his family moving between England, US, and Cambodia, before settling near Maidenhead. He grew up in a loving Christian family and enjoyed the blessing of parents whose faith overflowed with generosity. Jesus has always been a part of his story with faith seeding at a young age, but increasingly taking root and blossoming as he grew. As the years have gone by, those words of Jesus “I have come that [you] may have life, and have it to the full,” have rung with growing truth and beauty - even when life has taken challenging turns.

Daniel is married to Camille, and together they have two children, Elsa (9) and Titus (7) who bring much joy, whilst also keeping them on their toes. Daniel trained originally as a Mechanical Engineer at the University of Manchester, before going on to work in Nottingham as a Structural Integrity Engineer for Power Stations. Though he very much enjoyed this, he felt called to serve the mission of God in building up the local church. So, after five years the family moved to London - this time for Daniel to complete his Ordination training at Oak Hill Theological College.

For the last four years the family have enjoyed living in East Leake, where Daniel has been serving his curacy across the Benefice of East Leake, West Leake, Stanford on Soar, Rempstone and Costock. In this he has been seeking to walk with the churches, communities and schools in their journey with Jesus. He has found it an immense joy and privilege to draw near to many, and to play a part in their story of faith and finding life in Jesus. As he steps into Southborough, Daniel is praying that together we might grow in love and overflow in the peace, hope and joy of Jesus
