Welcome to Collinwood Road United Reformed Church! We’re a small but growing and diverse church family, committed to child-friendly worship, serving our community and following Jesus’ life and teachings. And we’re so glad you found us.
Join us on Sundays
We meet together every Sunday at 10am in the main church building, with something for everyone whether you’re 5 or 95. On the first Sunday of each month we meet in the church hall (there will be a signpost to guide you) for inclusive, all-age worship with crafts activities, music, games and activities as part of the service. And there’s always tea, coffee and the chance for a chat after each service.
A place to explore the Christian faith
We’re a place where people of all ages and backgrounds meet together to explore the impact of Jesus’ life, death and resurrection on our own lives. We hope you’ll find us characterised by a thoughtful, enquiring approach to the Christian faith, believing Jesus is big enough to handle all our doubts, questions, anxieties and imperfections. We aim to read the Bible carefully and contextually, always through the lens of Jesus’ radical life of unconditional love
A caring, community hub
We believe Jesus calls us to love each other not only in words but in actions. So from our busy community café (open Monday-Friday!), to children’s holiday clubs, to our famous monthly breakfasts, we are always looking for ways to serve, support and care in our community. You’ll find us in the local park for community events. And sometimes singing carols in the local pub.
An inclusive church family
We believe that God loves each of us completely, just as we are. We strive to be a warm and welcoming, inclusive church family, celebrating our diversity while finding unity in our faith. We’re affirming of the LGBTQ+ community and pray that God may continue to teach us how to better serve people of all backgrounds.

In fact their intention was to hold a protest outside the…
