WHAT IS THE UNITED REFORMED CHURCH?
St Margaret’s is part of the United Reformed Church, a Protestant Christian Church in the United Kingdom. The URC is a non-conformist denomination which resulted from the union of the Presbyterian Church of England, Congregational church of England and Wales in 1972, the Churches of Christ in 1981 and the Scottish Congregationalists in 2000.
Each congregation within the URC is governed by its own church meetings. The URC has a three tier structure which is open for everyone to participate in. Local churches have elected Elders who with the minister oversee its pastureland spiritual leadership. Church meetings are open to all members to seek God’s will and discuss the life and work of the Church.
