Building relationships with Churches and Church Leaders
Gathering for Worship & Prayer
Serving together through practical action, to make our town the best it can be
Building Relationships
There are many churches in Ashford, each one unique and distinctive. And yet in the goodness of God we also belong together as the Body of Christ (Romans 12:5). CTA aims to foster and develop strong relationships through a monthly church leaders’ fellowship; joint services of praise and prayer; twice-yearly forums for sharing news and exploring further initiatives; and practical service in our town. In doing these things, there is much to celebrate, learn and be encouraged by.

Gathering
We currently get together a couple of times a year for worship – Praise and Prayer at the end of January (during the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity), and this year on Pentecost Sunday. And again on Easter Sunday for our sunrise service, 7.00am on the Wye Downs. The town centre churches have also recently begun hosting an open-air service on Good Friday for everyone.

Practical Action
Although a lot of the practical service to the Ashford community takes place from our individual churches, some activities are best done by working together. Street Pastors, Family, Food & Fun, support for refugees and asylum-seekers, and the newly-launched Chaplaincy at the Designer Outlet are some current examples. We always want to respond to the needs around us by combining our resources, skills and experience as God’s people.
