Churches Together in WIndsor (CTW) unites over a dozen churches seeking to deepen their communion with each other and the community to fulfil their mission of proclaiming the Gospel and service to the glory of God. Jesus Christ prayed for his disciples and the Church, “…that all of them may be one, Father, just as You are one in Me and I am one in You. May they also be one in Us so that the world may believe that You have sent Me” (John 17: 21-22) (CTW Constitution, approved 12/11/2003)
CTW aims to:
- encourage local churches to work together wherever and whenever possible;
- worship and pray together;
- learn more about the Christian faith together;
- co-ordinate resources for Christian evangelism and service to the community of Windsor;
- inform member churches about work and developments across CTW;
- promote and support the ecumenical movement.
Activities
The CTW Core Group (elected voluntary committee) convenes at least four times annually to progress support for charitable projects and help plan CTW’s three regular public activities:
