Radcliffe and Stand United Reformed Church

Stand United Reformed Church
The church is the people
‘Church’ isn’t about buildings and committees and programmes. It’s about people – us and you. We’re members because we’re a community and we care about each other. Whoever you are … you’re welcome here with us.
We're growing in our faith
Don’t expect us to be perfect. We’re not. But we are on a journey of becoming more and more like Jesus. And we’d love you to join us on that road.
We preach the cross
If that sounds weird, it’s because it is! At the centre of the Christian story of God and the world is the cross of the crucified Jesus. We are invited to see, in all the godlessness and horror of his crucifixion, the nearness and love of God. God doesn’t shy away from darkness and destruction. Instead, in Jesus, God shares in it. And all because of God’s love and passion for the world …
God so loved the world ...
There’s nothing we can do to make God love us more … and nothing we can do to make God love us less! Come and discover the love of God for you and for the world. Come and make a difference … for Christ’s sake.
New life in Christ, new creation in Christ
‘If anyone is in Christ, they are a new creation. Old things have passed away; everything has become new’ (2 Corinthians 5:17). The butterfly is the symbol of resurrection. God’s new life in Christ starts with us and spills over into the world.
