Those of us gathering as part of our various new communities in the Northstowe Church Network come from all Christian traditions as well as those new to Christianity: together we are pilgrims on a journey, asking questions and exploring the connections we find between everyday life and our spirituality and faith. At the heart of all this is a recognition that we are seeking to follow The Pathfinder, Jesus Christ.
The Northstowe Church Network is a local ecumenical partnership of the Church of England, the Baptist Union of Great Britain, and the United Reformed Church., working closely with the other Christian traditions involved in the Cambridgeshire Ecumenical Council. What unites us is much stronger than our denominational backgrounds: it is a rooted, growing, and transforming faith based on an encounter with the ancient and eternal God who still changes lives today. Our vision is to be people who are
praying, exploring and
sharing
Our first community, Pathfinder Church, is committed to working in a close partnership with The Pathfinder Church of England Primary School. We meet regularly for intergenerational worship on
Sunday afternoons in the school, equipping us to live out our faith throughout the week.
Little Explorers (time for you, your child, and God) and the Compline Community are also developing as part of our network.
One strand of our identity is being part of the Church of England, living out a commitment to be
“a visible Christian presence in every community". So we delight in being able to offer
Life Event services (weddings, christenings, funerals), both here in Northstowe and in our Parish Church in Longstanton, to all those who live in Northstowe.
