Under God, CCIW has been blessed with significant growth in the last decades, including a newly formed partnership with St Bede’s. Going forward, we are gearing up for further growth with a congregation plant in preparation, a heightened focus on outreach, growing ministries for young people and investment in raising up and developing leaders to serve with the gifts God has given them.
