WELCOME TO THE
NORTHERN SYNOD OF THE
UNITED REFORMED CHURCH
FOOTSTEPS ON LIFE’S JOURNEY
LOVE AND FAITH IN ACTION
WHO WE ARE
We are friends and disciples of Jesus – “called to be God’s people, transformed by the Gospel, making a difference in today’s world, for Christ’s sake”.
We are part of the worldwide movement known as the Christian Church. We believe in God the source and sustainer of creation. We try to live as Jesus Christ did, befriending those people who live on the margins of society, confronting injustice wherever we find it, challenging the rich and complacent and offering love and forgiveness to all who will receive it, even tough it might be at personal cost.
We believe in God’s continuing presence with us through the Holy Spirit who strengthens us to live as sisters and brothers of Jesus, ready to break down every barrier that separates people from one another.
WALKING THE WAY
Walking the Way is the United Reformed Church’s focus on whole-of-life discipleship. It’s not a programme or initiative. Instead, it’s all about celebrating and sharing existing experience and wisdom about what it means to empower people to be the presence of Jesus through their everyday lives, across the denomination, and beyond.
