Overseas Projects

The history of Crown Church’s involvement with projects overseas makes for good reading. In most recent times, we committed to a year’s programme of intensive partnership with St Columba’s Budapest. The former Associate minister, Dr Willis Jones, went over to work there for three months, and various work parties travelled out through the year.

Now we have entered a partnership agreement with North Street United Church in Kingston, Jamaica. Reciprocal visits paved the way for a formal signing of the agreement in September 2008 which is set initially to last four years, with the hope of mutual benefit.

Historic patterns of one church rather culturally taking over the other are well left behind; clearly there is a great deal to give and to receive on both sides. We look forward with great anticipation!
