About Us

Who

CCP support churches to become more community facing; working in partnership with the community, service providers, and other organisations to make positive transformation happen.

How

CCP provide hands-on support, advice and co-ordination. We facilitate cooperation and partnership with the Third Sector, Statutory Agencies and other relevant bodies so that expertise, skills and experience are shared in order to address community needs for the common good.

Why

Our communities are full of people and organisations who want to help: by connecting our skills and expertise, and by listening and discussion, we can better support communities together.

I feel a strong sense of calling to enable people, church leaders and congregations, and organisations to work together to support their communities. CCP is about helping communities to thrive – together we can make a difference… and we will.
