Music at Christ Church Highbury

Christ Church Highbury has a vibrant musical community and serves as an iconic rehearsal and performance venue in the heart of Islington. Christ Church offers two Sunday services, each with its own style of musical worship. Sunday morning services are led by Director of Music, James Buckham.

Services are recorded and livestreamed to allow at-home participation for those unable to meet in person due to restrictions.

Tune in to our youtube channel to hear and watch all live-streamed services.
