What is the Leeds United Reformed Church Partnership?
The Leeds United Reformed Church Partnership officially came into being, (after several years of discussions), on 7th May 2022, when eight churches of the Leeds Mission and Care Group were inaugurated into the Partnership and members of the Ministry Team were inducted into it during a special service.
The Partnership churches are:
- Beeston Hill United Free Church (LEP: Baptist, Methodist, URC)
- Christ Church Halton (LEP: Methodist, URC)
- Headingley St Columba URC
- St Andrew’s Roundhay URC
- Stainbeck URC
- The URC in South Leeds
- West Park URC
- Wigton Moor URC
The ministry team currently comprises:
- Revd Geoff Ellis – Non-stipendiary Minister
- Revd Angela Hughes – Non-stipendiary Minister
- Revd Tim Lowe – Stipendiary Minister
- Revd Dr Nicola Robinson – Stipendiary Minister
- Mr Alex Walker – Elder in Local leadership (unpaid)
The ministers work collaboratively in a way that best utilises their skills and abilities and enables elders and members to work for the benefit of all the churches in the Partnership.
The vision
The vision and opportunity of the Leeds URC Partnership is to enable each member church to fulfil God’s vision and mission within its own local community, enabled by the ministry team. Although some activities may involve some or all of the member churches, many will be for churches on their own. Through the Partnership, the churches will continue to co-operate, encourage each other and make the best use of limited resources.
