Our Network
HCC believes that an expression of the church, like our little community, cannot exist in isolation and so consider it important to foster good connections with other organisations. Below are links to partners we feel we have a particularly strong connection to:
Pioneer Network
HCC has been part of the Pioneer Network of churches from our inception. Pioneer provides access to support, wider fellowship, accountability and resources. It's also nice to "belong" to something bigger than us! - www.pioneer.org.uk
The Evangelical Alliance
HCC is also part of the Evangelical Alliance. It is the largest and oldest body representing the UK’s two million evangelical Christians. For more than 165 years, the EA has been bringing Christians together and helping them listen to, and be heard by, the government, media and society. - www.eauk.org
Hertford & District Churches Together
As well as being connected to the wider Church through various networks, we also believe strongly in local church and church unity in particular. HCC is part of the local Churches Together group, working to together to serve Hertford and the surrounding towns.
Hertford & Ware Street Pastors
Street Pastors nationally is a partnership between the local council, police and churches seeking to make the night life of our towns a little safer for everyone. Hertford & Ware have had Street Pastors since about 2009, and HCC is fully behind the work they do. HCC have had a number of members both in the past and currently, who volunteer either as Street Pastors or Prayer Pastors. - www.streetpastors.org/locations/hertford-ware
FutureHope
It was early 2000's when our very own Mark Wood birthed the vision of FutureHope to serve young people in crisis. FutureHope, as a part of the Hertford Community Church Trust charity, has developed over the last decade to become a well known and respected local organisation serving the community. The are most famous for their mobile youth centre, a converted mobile library fully equipped with games consoles and hot chocolate! - www.future-hope.org.uk
DNA is an exciting Christian Discipleship and Leadership Development course.
It is for everyone, whatever you age or stage of life - whether for you it is a Gap Year, a Sabbatical, or part of your Education. It can be done alongside your work and family commitments. Importantly, DNA is a course to be done in your home church or host church context.
Both Ross and Jess from Hertford Community Church are part of the DNA Team and HCC have supported many people to do DNA over the years. We highly recommend it!
