EXCITING TIMES in CUMBRIA

Four denominations in Cumbria - Methodist, United Reformed Church, Salvation Army and Anglican - joined together to form an ecumenical county in Cumbria. Other denominations have given their support.

They have formed three Mission Communities, as part of "Better at Being Church in Every Community", Mission Communities. Email and web addresses are on this leaflet.

The Anglican churches, of which there are 18, were already grouped into Helm, Beacon and Two Valleys (details are listed on this website) so it seemed sensible to start by using this existing system with KURC and the Salvation Army joining the Helm group for geographical reasons.

An important aspect of mission communities is getting to know each other, both person to person and church to church. It is acknowledged that Manna House, the bookshop and the food bank are already amongst joint activities.

We have come a long way in the years since the first meeting in Ambleside, Sunday 27th November 2011, when Cumbria pledged to become an ecumenical county. 

The iniative God for All has a comprehensive web site.
