Christ Church North Finchley

We come from many different backgrounds and nationalities but at our heart is a genuine faith in Jesus Christ, who makes God known through the Bible and who is active in our world now.

The memorial tablet on display in the church building summarises his driving passion well: “Ever mindful of the spiritual welfare of his flock, he lived and preached Jesus Christ and Him crucified.” This conviction, that the message of the crucified and risen Jesus is what people need most, remains at the heart of Christ Church.

[4] Dr Catherine Ironside was a Christ Church member who left her life in Finchley to serve as a missionary doctor in Esfahan, Iran.

Following her death during the Asian Flu pandemic of 1922, the font cover was carved in her memory, echoing the famous Esfahan style.

Christ Church has always been a sender and supporter of missionaries across the world and is now a notably diverse congregation comprising many nationalities.
