Churches Together Groups

Local Work for Christian Unity

Find Your Local Group

A number of local Churches Together groups meet within Cambridgeshire. Each group is autonomous, and has its own history, shaped by the place and people who form it. Some are called "Churches Together," others "Christians Together," and still others go by unique names to their area.

Common activities include services and discussion groups, conferences and events, and a wide variety of ways in which service is offered to the local community (eg food banks, street pastors, youth work, lunch clubs, festivals, night shelters, chaplaincy, etc). Your local community can inspire others, so please share your good news stories.

Start a Local Group

Maybe you want to start --- or restart --- a group in your community. The key is to start small! You don't need an elaborate structure. What you need are relationships.

Invite someone from another church for tea and conversation. Share what you're dreaming about. Pray together.
