Denomination: United Reformed Church
Our congregation belongs to the United Reformed Church.
We base our faith and conduct on the Word of God in the Bible under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
The United Reformed Church was formed in 1972 by the union of the Congregational Church in England and Wales with the Presbyterian Church of England and a number of Churches of Christ. The URC is governed by democratic Councils which give equal status to all members. Although relatively small as a denomination, the URC numbers some 150,000 adults and 100,000 children in some 1750 congregations spread throughout England, Scotland and Wales. It is served by some 1100 ministers, both women and men. We have always been open to unity with other traditions, and more than 400 of our local churches are united with other denominations.
But whatever the particular traditions that guide our church family, we exist above all to bear witness to Jesus and, God willing, to lead others to faith in Him.
