Loughborough United Reformed Church seek to show Christ to the world through loving action. Drawn from the Reformed Tradition we strive through our worship, to share the radical love of Jesus in a friendly and inclusive way.
- We have a heart for social justice, awake to the ways people suffer injustice.
- We have a commitment to being an Eco-congregation,
- We work to remove racism and to be aware of the legacies of slavery.
- We resolve to be a safe space for LGBTQ+ and are registered to conduct Same-Sex marriages.
The Mission and Outreach Group seeks to:
- encourage the whole church to be involved in mission
- keep the church informed of significant happenings
This creates varied opportunities for involvement through prayer, giving and social action.
The church’s commitment to mission is summed up in the phrase ‘seeking to show Christ to the world through loving action’
Our role is not to ‘do’ mission but to enable the whole church to be involved.
We do this by:-
- supporting and encouraging a variety of other groups
- seeing our entire community life as ‘mission’
- reflecting in that life, the values and personality of Jesus
So our first and most important way of ‘doing mission’ is in the personal contact with people and the human values we express.
We have made a specific commitment with regards to Racism.
“As a church, we pledge to work to remove racism, not only from our communities and places of work, but also from our hearts and minds.” But, we also know that this easier said than done!
Our Family
Like any family, we enjoy just hanging out together, we hold regular social events such as Quizes, Afternoon Tea, films and enjoy a fish and chip supper.
Our building is also an excellent venue for concerts and we are pleased to welcome a number of local artistes and ensembles to perform here. Anybody who wishes to join us for these is most welcome.
Our Building
The way we use the buildings isa part of our ‘mission.’ It accommodates activities whereby we and our community partners enhance life for local people.
Beyond the Building
Beyond the limits of our building, we have connections with
The Wider World
Our vision is not limited to the local scene. We are concerned about matters of well being in the wider world. For example:
