Who we are

We are a group of Christians of different ages and nationalities, all with a heart to serve and show God’s love to the growing community in and around Trumpington. Trumpington was, and still is, a fast growing part of Cambridge and we longed to see a church established as a gospel witness to the growing community in and around Trumpington.

We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and what the Bible teaches us about Him is the best news there is for everyone. Jesus Christ is the person at the heart of the Christian faith, which is why He is central to everything we do and teach as a church – even our name reflects this.

Christ Church Trumpington (CCT) was planted in 2014 as an initiative of Rock Baptist Church, with the support of the Fellowship of Independent Churches (FIEC). Our first Sunday service was held on 14 September 2014 in the hall at Fawcett Primary School. In April 2016, CCT became an independent church and charity registered with the Charity Commission. 

Later that year, the former Free Church building on Alpha Terrace, originally built in 1899, became available. Today, it serves as the home for our church offices, midweek groups and activities, and special events, while our Sunday morning services continue to meet at Fawcett Primary School.
