Serving the Living Christ in and around the Community.
There is an induction loop system for hearing aid users in the Church and larger print hymn books are always available.
The United Reformed Church came into being in 1972 with the union of the Congregational Church in England and Wales, and the Presbyterian Church of England.
Erdington United Reformed Church was formed in January 1975 when two local churches united, one being a former Congregational Church, and the other a Presbyterian Church. The Congregational Church has a long history in Erdington going back to 1820. The Presbyterian Church was founded in 1910, and moved to its present location in 1913, and the church we currently worship in was built in 1934.

Safeguarding
The United Reformed Church (URC) is committed to safeguarding in every area of its life and ministry. Safeguarding is the action taken to promote and protect the well-being and human rights of individuals.
This means we will:
. Do all we can to create and maintain a safe and caring environment for all people.
. Respond promptly and effectively to any form of abuse and neglect, including reporting abuse to statutory agencies when necessary.
. Seek to prevent abuse in any form from occurring. We will seek to identify individuals who may pose a risk to others and take necessary actions to
minimise risk whilst supporting these individuals in our communities when safe to do so.
If you wish to discuss a safeguarding concern, please contact:
