The United Reformed Church came into being in 1972 as an
amalgamation of the Congregational and Presbyterian Churches. The
Churches of Christ joined in 1981, and the Congregational Union of
Scotland in 1998.
We
believe that all Christians are members of the same church. We seek
to follow Jesus and to help others do the same.
Redland Park
Church has recently produced a Vision Statement in response to a
visitation by members of the Bristol District Council of the URC: "Redland
Park Church seeks to be a faithful part of the Church Universal;
loving and witnessing to the world as did our Lord Jesus Christ.
We
commit ourselves to growing in the spirit and in service to all
people - Faithful to the word as revealed in the Bible, obedient to
the teaching of Christ, and open to receiving the Holy Spirit -
Loving God and all humankind by freely giving of ourselves -
Witnessing by being, doing and telling - Growing in the spirit by
prayer, worship and study - Service by giving of our time, talents
and our material wealth wherever and whenever needed."
We are in the process of various action plans to take our Vision
forward.
