Sleaford URC

The United Reformed Church (URC) stands in the Reformed tradition of Christian faith, believes in one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit;

it finds the supreme authority for faith and conduct by the guidance of the Spirit in the Word of God in the Bible;

it looks to be continually renewed and reformed so as to fulfil its mission of witness and service in the name of Jesus Christ;

it practises both infant and believer's baptism and celebrates the Lord's Supper;

and it recognises the ministry of God's people: all the members serving in the world and through the church, in particular: ministers of Word and Sacrament, elders, lay preachers, church related community workers (CRCWs), and workers from partner churches.

Sleaford URC is a member church of the United Reformed Church. The Christian's that are Sleaford United Reformed Church consist of URC 'members' and those who join regularly for worship, fellowship and service, as we seek to be obedient to Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour.

We welcome those who come from any church background or none;

we arrange our own worship, witness and service;

we celebrate the sacraments of Baptism and the Lord's Supper;

we have regular church meetings of members and an elected body of ordained elders who, with the minister, share pastoral and leadership responsibilities;

and we seek to develop ecumenical relationships as we work with the other denominations in Sleaford.
