About Us
The Christchurch Fellowship of Churches was formed over 25 years ago, with the purpose of bringing together the churches in the town for their mutual encouragement, support and coordination, while respecting their diversity.
The aim is to enhance our witness, outreach and service in our community, through the work of God's Holy Spirit. The Fellowship holds regular meetings of the church leaders and representatives, and sometimes suppers, united worship celebrations, networking information and special events.
Past activities have included:
- Week of Prayer for Christian Unity
- A Bible Experience exhibition
- March For Jesus
- Christian musical productions
- School events
- Hosting productions by The Saltmine Theatre Company
- Donation of books to local libraries
Tribute to John Jones
John Jones was the founding convenor of the Christchurch Fellowship of Churches.
John was a gentle, humble, and deeply committed servant of the Lord.
He had been a missionary in India, manager of the Keith Jones Christian Bookshop in Bournemouth, and an Elder for many years at Twynham Church.
His decades of service as convenor of the Christchurch Fellowship of Churches (CFoC) have left an enduring mark on our shared life as churches. John worked tirelessly to promote unity, fellowship, and collaboration among us — always encouraging us to stand together as one body in Christ for the sake of our community. His heart for working together and his unwavering belief in the value of churches working side by side has shaped the very identity of the CFoC.
The churches across Christchurch owe John a sincere debt of gratitude. His faithfulness, wisdom, and servant-hearted leadership blessed us richly, and his legacy will continue to guide us as we seek to honour Christ in our shared mission.
