LONGTON UNITED REFORMED CHURCH
Serving the Community, Sharing the Good News
We are an all-ages, all-abilities, all-welcoming congregation based on Trentham Road, Dresden opposite Queen’s Park.
We would like to extend a warm welcome to you to any of our services or activities.
Our church family meets together for worship at 10.45am each Sunday. On the first Sunday of the month we have an all-age service. During the other morning services our younger people have their Junior Church activities except for the second Sunday when they have their own Messy Church. Holy Communion is held during the service on the third Sunday of the month. After each morning service there is ample opportunity to meet up and chat with tea and coffee provided.
On occasions throughout the year e.g. during Lent and Advent we hold an alternative service each Sunday evening where you will be welcomed with coffee/tea at 5pm. Both the content and approach to these services are varied.
Our Bible Study group meet on the first Tuesday of the month at 2pm. This is an informal session of exploring the bible together. No prior knowledge required, everyone welcome.
We are registered for baptisms, weddings and funerals. Please note however we are only registered for marriage services between a man and a woman. The Church is not registered for marriages of same-sex couples.
All our group leaders and helpers are DBS checked and agree to follow our Safeguarding policy and as well as providing the above sessions they also provide the activities listed below. If you have skills you wish to share please check out the section on volunteering. Contact details for The Little Robins Preschool nursery and Slimming World who use our premises are given in the appropriate section. Other items which may be of interest to you are detailed below the activities list.
