Roydon United Reformed Church is a welcoming village church. We share our minister with Leaside LEP.
Roydon United Reformed Church originated in 1798. Built in 1851 the current church was altered and enlarged in 1933. The pews were removed some years ago which has enabled the church sanctuary to be multi-purpose.
In 2012 a substantial side extension was built providing a new entrance, welcoming area, toilets, and meeting room with kitchen known as the 'Palmer Room'.
In the summer of 2020 extensive building works were undertaken to remedy subsidence issues and repair the resultant cracks and defects in the walls and large window on the front façade of the church. The interior was also decorated, and the Church is now safe and watertight.
The church stands in a well-kept churchyard that is well visited and there is a large carpark.
All events and activities are currently suspended
The church is dedicated to working with the community, and prior to the Covid-19 Pandemic was a hub for several church and community activities. We look forward to a time when these activities and out-reach can continue. They included:
Who is the United Reformed Church? We are a family of Christians, worshipping in the name of Jesus in about 1500 local churches from Orkney to Cornwall.
All our tasks and posts are open to women as fully as to men. We are an intercultural church, where people with varied ethnic roots enrich each other's Christian living. Our people hold a range of opinions about theology and church life. In the words of the denominations Statement of Nature, Faith and Order (1990) together we are firmly committed to 'God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The living God, the only God, ever to be praised.'
