What does it mean to be a member of the URC?

Becoming a church member means becoming a recognised part of the world-wide family of Christians. This is a community of people who believe in God. Being part of this family encourages us in our faith as we work together to show God’s love and mercy to the world.

The United Reformed Church (URC) welcomes all to attend its worship and other activities, and all who attend are part of the community and life of the church. Becoming a member of the URC enables you to take part in the life of the whole Church, including its decision-making bodies.

What we do

CRCW is a distinctive and formally recognised ministry within the URC, and post holders play a vital role in the denomination's presence and engagement in neighbourhoods and with communities. CRCWs are called by God, professionally and theologically trained, and then commissioned to particular church(es) and neighbourhoods, using the principles of community development, to respond to and challenge the issues facing their particular communities. 

If you require more CRCW information or need a document which is not available online, please email the CRCW programme administrator, who will be happy to help.
