Churches Together in Leyland
Mission Statement
Churches Together in Leyland (CTL) is a local response to Jesus’ prayer for all his disciples – ‘That all may be one.”
Aims
Churches Together in Leyland aims to serve the local community
(a) to enable the churches, as pilgrims together, to explore the Christian faith together, to develop mutual relationships, to seek a common mind, and to make decisions together;
(b) 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;
(c) to enable the churches to live and share the Gospel, to evangelise together and to take further steps towards fuller unity;
(d) to enable the churches to respond to the needs of our multi cultural society.
(e) to publicise the work of Churches Together in Leyland and the groups which it supports.
