The churches and other Christian organisations in North Shields have signed a covenant to work together, as indeed they have done for many years.
Some of the things we do together include: joint services for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, Good Friday (with open air drama and procession), Christian Aid Week and Pentecost. We cooperate with Christian Aid Week collections and support for Bible Society.
Churches Together meets three times a year as a forum, with representatives of all churches attending, in addition to monthly meetings of clergy in the town. Visit our website.
Churches Together in North Shields is part of the wider ecumenical family: North East Churches Acting Together, Churches Together in England, Churches Together in Britain & Ireland, the Conference of European Churches, and the World Council of Churches.
