Welcome to URC Mersey

As we move our focus from Talking Faith to Living Faith, it’s a good idea for us to consider the direction of travel that we take. As we journey through Living Faith, this should not stop our desire to talk faith, as part of Living Faith is finding ways to ‘invite’ others to the life we have discovered.

‘A Reimagined Worship’ is an intergenerational, community collaboration, where faith and theatre have been combined to create an innovative Sunday worship. Designed and led by Marrissa Thorpe, ten weekly workshops saw volunteer participants from St Columba URC engaged in collective service planning to assess the capacity for experimental worship within the United Reformed Church.

Seacombe URC has always been there for its community and is now rebuilding and redeveloping to continue meeting the needs of its neighbours. The old church building is being repurposed into a multi-functional building suitable for use as a community resource as well as a worshipping church. It is hoped to be completed in 2026 and has been assisted with funding from Mersey Synod Large Project Scheme. But why and how did the church come to develop this project? What does it mean for the community in Seacombe – spiritually and socially?

Revd Geoff Felton, Moderator of the URC Mersey Synod, is planning a 39 mile prayer walk visiting 20 churches across the region during Holy Week this year (13-19th April 2025). The more detailed route and program are listed below and anyone from the Synod or community are welcome to join in for all or part of the days walking.

At Mersey URC, we are fortunate to be involved with the London Institute for Contemporary Christianity (LICC).
