[TOP] The Basis of
Churches Together In Northampton & District is:
Churches Together In Northampton & District (CTN) unites in pilgrimage
those Churches in Northampton & District which, acknowledging God's
revelation in Christ, confess the Lord Jesus Christ as God and Saviour according
to the Scriptures, and, in obedience to God's will and in the power of the Holy
Spirit commit themselves:
 | to seek a deepening of their communion with Christ and with one another in
the Church, which is His body; and |
| to fulfil their mission to proclaim the Gospel by common witness and
service in the world |
to the glory of the one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
[TOP] The
Aims of Churches Together in Northampton & District are:
| to enable the churches, as pilgrims together, to develop
growing relationships, to seek a common mind, and to make decisions together
|
| to encourage churches to worship, pray and reflect together
on the nature and purpose of the church in the light of its mission - each
church sharing with others the treasures of its tradition
|
| to enable the churches to respond to the needs of society
and to witness to the Gospel together
|
| to enable the churches to live and share the Gospel, to
evangelise together and to take further steps towards fuller unity. |
In particular Churches Together in Northampton & District
seeks to:

neighbourhood Churches Together groups within its area;
