Christ Church is located on Stockton Lane in Heworth, York, England. It was opened in March 1964.

It has been called "one of the most pleasing modern churches." ^[1] The building design is attributed to 'M. Menim;' ^[1] this may have been A. Michael Mennim, who designed a number of churches in the York area. ^[2]

The church was originally a daughter church of Holy Trinity Church in Heworth, but was separated into its own ecclesiastical parish in 1998. ^[3] The church is also used as a dance-hall and meeting place for local community groups, such as the York Minster Scout Group. ^[4]
