We are part of a joint pastorate of United Reformed Churches in Reading with a shared ministry team of Revd Robert
Barthram and Revd John Downing and we invite you to join us at one of our churches situated across Reading.
The United Reformed Church doctrine is from the Reformed tradition and was formed by the amalgamation of the
Presbyterian and Congregational Churches of England and later with the Churches of Christ.
