The mission of the CCF is to:

  • bridge Christians and Conservatives
  • inspire Christians to go into public life and equip them when they get there
  • be 'salt and light' in British politics.[1]

The CCF organises events and meetings for the party and its supporters around the UK, including Listening to Britain's Churches events, monthly Prayers for the Nation in Parliament and local group meetings. It is also an active participant in the cross-party group Christians in Politics, which include Christian MPs in the UK.

Organisation

The CCF's headquarters are at the Conservative Campaign Headquarters in Westminster,[2] but it is funded solely by its supporters.[3]

The Fellowship is governed by a board of trustees and currently has three staff members, as well as interns and volunteers.

The CCF's previous Executive Directors include Gareth Wallace, Tim Montgomerie, Paul Woolley, Elizabeth Berridge and Colin Bloom.

As of August 2016, the CCF's trustees were:[4]

gollark: Wait, if the file-last-edited thing returns real-world unix tme, couldn't you just edit a file and check the timestamp on it?
gollark: Do `tyre.getReactionStats()` instead of `tyre.getReactionStats`.
gollark: You're unpacking a function. You need to actually call it.
gollark: The OC-specific docs are here but they're kind of bad: https://ocdoc.cil.li/
gollark: It's not a *video*, but you can read the PIL manual for Lua here: https://www.lua.org/pil/contents.html - it doesn't cover OC-specific stuff but it's good to know.
