Centenary Celebrations

We shall celebrate our centenary over twelve months from September 2007 until September 2008. This is in recognition that the first part of the work of this church was in establishing Park Institute (what we would now call a community centre) in 1907. It was in 1908 that Park Congregational Church was established.

The church has continued to develop; in 1972 the Congregational Church joined with the Presbyterian Church in England to form the United Reformed Church. So in 1972 we changed our name to Park United Reformed Church. Throughout the years the church has remained faithful to the calling of Jesus Christ, which is demonstrated in many different ways. One distinctive aspect of our work is our commitment to work with young people, helping them to grow in faith.
