The Wight Church Network is an informal group of Christians that work together on the Isle of Wight to help build up the church and advance the Kingdom of God, uniting believers from many congregations in prayer, worship, growing in discipleship and in active service and mission.
We share the Statement of Belief of Churches Together in England, and our faith is rooted in the historic creeds of the church such as the Apostles Creed and the Nicene Creed
Churches Together in England unites in pilgrimage those Churches in England which, acknowledging God’s revelation in Christ, confess the Lord Jesus Christ as God and Saviour according to the Scriptures, and, in obedience to God’s will and in the power of the Holy Spirit commit themselves:
- to seek a deepening of their communion with Christ and with one another in the Church, which is his body; and
- to fulfil their mission to proclaim the Gospel by common witness and service in the world
We believe, at this time, that God is enabling us to co-operate together across our many streams in order to flow as one river, whilst preserving our diversity and distinctives, which are part of God’s creativity amongst us. Now is a time for the oneness of the church to be evident in co-operation, sharing of resources and the building of relationships to be effective in the territory God has given us. The Isle of Wight motto is “All this Beauty is of God” and nothing can be more beautiful on this Island than to see the church, the bride of Christ, made whole and ready for the King.

We encourage you to explore the diversity of the Church on the Island by browsing through our pages. We invite you to send in more information to extend our information base and make known the activities of your own congregation or organisation. We would ask you tell others that we are here. Above all we would ask you to pray as Jesus did “that they may be one” – John 17:22.
Share with us in a spirit of unity as we seek to promote partnership, awareness and co-operation in the Isle of Wight Church and transformation in our community.
