VISION AND TEAM

Community Churches Connected

We are a family of churches (currently four) in North Hampshire and South Berkshire that began in the 1960s. Having emerged from one church we still retain a sense of identity together. Our desire is to see our churches thriving and growing and to support one another in this shared aim. Each church exercises its own leadership and governance, yet retains a sense of togetherness through history, vision and some shared activities. CCC has a Core Team which seeks to support the churches in their mission, to foster mutual sharing and strengthening and to bring encouragement and input. This is supported by a small ‘corporate’ administration team and Trustees of the one charitable body.

Vision

This is best expressed as a desire to be ‘galvanised for a decade of growth and impact.’ This strap line emerged from a review of CCC in April 2017. It is an attempt to capture our desire for God to lead us into greater fruitfulness together. This vision is expressed in three ways: firstly to foster an apostolic culture (that thinks beyond itself), has a world vision (locally and overseas), and values development over maintenance; secondly, to encourage strategies for growth through new birth; and thirdly, to consider what training and equipping is better done together.

Core Team

The Core Team considers CCC as a whole, prays for and seeks to encourage the individual churches. It also looks at when and how joint initiatives of mission, training and gathering would be beneficial. It agrees shared policy and provides a place of support connection and accountability for the church leaders and other senior ministries.

This team is led by Phil Norris and includes Gary Bastin, Simon Biggs, Jon Coombs, Marian Hay, Pete Hay, Mark Nash, Mirian Price, Earl Robinson, Andy Taylor, Dan Wake and Andy Wright
