Welcome
to the St Andrew's URC website,
part of the URC Reading Group.
We have a shared ministry under Revd Robert Barthram
and lay preachers and we invite you to join us at one of our morning worship services where we hope you will feel very welcome.
Sunday Worship and Junior Church begin at 11.00am (10.45 on Remembrance Sunday)
Children and toddlers are most welcome and our Junior Church Children and Leaders leave for their own group activities part way through the service.
We hope you will join us for Tea or Coffee in the Hall downstairs after morning worship.

St Andrew's URC Reading
Our Church
Who we are
Where we are
We are situated next to Readings' Royal Berks Hospital on the corner of London Road and Craven Road and close to both Reading and Thames Valley Universities. The entrance to our car park is via Craven Road.
Our worship room is up-stairs with lift for those who find stairs difficult and we have full accessible facilities on the ground floor.
We are family friendly church from a gathered community with a large multi-ethnic diversity.
As a multicultural Church, the URC affirms its reforming, uniting and non-conforming ethos, intentionally committing itself to an intercultural journey and that calls us to
embody God's love,
live God's word,
promote God's justice,
and practice expansive hospitality,
the Jesus way.
Vision
In our mission, we seek to be at the heart of the local Community and provide joyful and thoughtful worship and to show God’s love for everyone in all we say and do.
