Downing Place United Reformed Church

Downing Place United Reformed Church Friendly, inclusive United Reformed Church in the centre of Cambridge. We strive to be a community that reflects God’s radical love, welcoming to all.

Committed to building up people in faith and in following Christ, we are an open and inclusive church in the centre of Cambridge. Downing Place URC was formed in June 2018 from the union of Emmanuel and St Columba's United Reformed Churches, and the redeveloped St Columba's site on Downing Place will become the springboard for our renewed mission in the heart of Cambridge. Our worship is marked by

a sense of reverence and of joy, drawing on the riches of the Reformed tradition of liturgy and preaching, with a special appreciation of music. We foster an intelligent and non-judgmental environment for exploring faith, seeking to live out this faith in a commitment to social justice.
