CTCC organises a variety of events each year to which all are welcome whether members of the individual churches or not. The member churches also open their doors to visitors on a regular basis. Some of the events taking place in Colchester Churches are listed below. Others may appear on the Churches' own web-sites, yet more can normally be found on Church notice boards.

On the first Thursday of each month at 1.10 pm a service of Holy Communion takes place at the Castle Methodist Church. The purpose of this service is to provide spiritual nourishment for those working in, or just visiting the town centre. It is open to all with no reservation. The service is timed to last not more than 30 minutes allowing those who attend during their lunch break time to return to their place of work in good time.
