It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Wigan, the archdeaconry of Warrington, and the diocese of Liverpool.

This was amended the following year to a church seating 677 at an estimated cost of £5,000 (equivalent to £590,000 in 2023).

[4][5] Christ Church is constructed in rock-faced stone with ashlar dressings, and has a slate roof.

Its plan consists of a five-bay nave, north and south transepts, a chancel ending in a polygonal apse, north and south vestries, and a porch at the west end.
