In June 2005 a vision and strategy for the AbbeyField Community Development was drawn up by leaders from the local Anglican, Methodist and URC churches. The vision included
"to be a presence on the new development from day one, to help engender a true sense of community among the new residents, to meet the needs of a new community as it develops, to work along side other bodies to ensure that adequate community facilities are provided within a suitable time frame and to establish the foundation for on going Christian work in the community."
By January 2006 Colchester Evangelical Church and Salvation Army Colchester Corp where also part of this group. It was decided that Colchester Evangelical Church would move their church from Abbeygate Street and relocate on the new AbbeyField development under the new name of 'AbbeyField Community Church'. We are currently looking for a new building in which to establish the 'AbbeyField Community Centre'.
