Welcome to Christ Church Aughton

The Archdeacon of Knowsley & Sefton in the Diocese of Liverpool, Pete Spiers, and our Parochial Church Council are delighted to announce the appointment of the Rev’d Ian Greenwood as Vicar of Christ Church Aughton.

A message from the Archdeacon: “Rev’d Greenwood is currently vicar of St Anne’s in Aigburth in Liverpool but before that was curate at St John’s Burscough and before that worshipped at St Paul’s Sklemersdale and so knows Ormskirk deanery very well. The interview panel were delighted to meet him and hear his passion for the growth of the church and his experience of Leading Your Church into Growth. They feel that he will fit the requirements of the parish profile very well. I am very grateful to the parish representatives, Peter Stewart and Lawrence Abernethy, the patron Rev Andrew Housely and the Area Dean Chris Spittle and deanery lay representative Clare Glynn for all the time they have given to this discernment process.  Thank you for your prayers during this time and I look forward to commending him to you at his licensing service which we hope will be in September.”

For the remainder of this period of interregnum, Rev’d Graham Rutter and Rev’d Janet Roberts will continue to lead our church. Short biographies for Graham and Janet can be found within the About Us page here.
