Churches Together groups in Cumbria
Churches Together finds expression in local groups made up of churches from across the denominations and affiliate Christian organisations, who join together for mutual support, to share the gospel and to partner in God’s work in the community.
Celebrating Together is the annual gathering of Churches Together in Cumbria, to which everyone is warmly invited. It is a celebration of all that we are and do together. It is usually held in June and includes our AGM.
If you would like to find out more about this work, and be connected to ecumenical work in your local area or join us for this year’s annual celebration on 4 June in Workington, please contact Charlotte . Alternatively follow the links to those groups with a website or Facebook page at the bottom of this page.
