The Power of Partnership: Stories of Hope and Transformation from the Castle Eden Circuit

Join us online for a heartening lunchtime event as we explore The Power of Partnership--a celebration of how collaboration between churches and communities is creating spaces of transformation and hope.

Through four real-life stories from across the Castle Eden Circuit, we'll hear how local partnerships are bringing renewed life and purpose to church buildings and the people they serve:

  • In Easington Colliery, a church and local councillor joined forces to create a vibrant community hub open seven days a week.
  • At Hordon, leasing space to a drama group has sparked not only artistic success but also pastoral connection.
  • In Peterlee, collaboration with East Durham Trust is enriching both community support and worship.
  • And in Seaton Carew, The Thrive Hive--a community initiative led by a local resident--is now thriving five days a week.


Come along, be inspired, and consider how partnership might look in your own setting.
