The Conservative Christian Fellowship is an organisation allied with the British Conservative Party, established in 1990 by Tim Montgomerie and Conservative MP David Burrowes whilst they were students at Exeter University.[1] The organisation wishes to unite the Christians of the British Conservative Party and to recruit more Christians into the Party.
The Mission of the CCF[1] is:
The fellowship organises a variety of events and meetings for the Party and for its members, mostly in Westminster, but increasingly elsewhere in the country, to reflect and support its growing membership outside Greater London and the home counties. It is also an active participant in the cross-party group Christians in Politics, which is an umbrella organisation for the Conservative Christian Fellowship, Christian Socialist Movement and Liberal Democrat Christian Forum.[2]

The Fellowship's headquarters are at Conservative Campaign Headquarters in Westminster,[3] but is separately funded and organised from the main party organisation.[4] Membership of the fellowship is not exclusive to party members.
The Fellowship is governed by a board of trustees. As of April 2011[update], there are three staff members: Executive Director Colin Bloom,[5] Membership and Communications Manager Alexandra Wilkinson, and Administrator Kofo Sanusi.
The CCF's previous Executive Directors include Tim Montgomerie, Paul Woolley and Elizabeth Berridge. Tim Montgomery is now editor of Conservative Home. Paul Woolley is director of Theos. Elizabeth Berridge was made Baroness Berridge in January 2011.
