Whoever you are, and wherever you are in life's journey, know that you are welcome here among us at Cumnor URC
The warm welcome is instant and sincere. We care for each other and the wider world. The Sunday service enables us to be with God in a time of spiritual renewal. The peace and calm of the monthly communion sustains and uplifts us - an oasis in an arid world.
We believe that Jesus was God in the world. He lived a life of outward-looking service and love to others and our members strive to do the same. All are welcome to sit beside us and feel the love and ensuing peace that can surround us in our old, but modernised church. See Our Statement of identity and purpose
Our members and friends generously support various charities. See Our Giving
There is a loop system in place for those with hearing problems and disabled access. The church and Garden Room have audio-visual technology, which is often used in services and is available for the use of hirers.
Worship every Sunday at 10.30 am
We are an inclusive church and welcome everyone to join in our worship. There is a children's area with books, crayons and toys so children and parents can remain in the church together.
Communion is served on the first Sunday of the month and all who seek to meet Christ in the broken bread and shared cup are welcome to participate. Donations of non perishable food and toiletries for the Witney Food Bank are accepted at this monthly service. See Our Giving
Tea and coffee are served afterwards in our light and airy hall, which all are welcome to share.
