Welcome to Staines Cong Church

It is my privilege as Pastor to tell you a little about who we are and what we do.

Established in the Town Centre of Staines in 1789, Staines Cong is a Bible centred church, living and speaking the message of Jesus in the 21st Century.

Worshipping Jesus and understanding the Bible are at the heart of what we do. We’d love to have the chance to explain Jesus to you too. We want to show the love of Jesus in action – so lots of activities happen throughout the week – not just on Sundays!

We hope you can find a place where you connect. We have a passion for children and families so our Sunday morning services always include activities for children. Why not turn up and we’ll give you a warm welcome.

Pastor Nick Gray

 

Staines Congregational Church was founded as an independent chapel in 1789. 

For many years, Staines Congregational Church was a member of the Congregational Union of England and Wales.

In the early 1960s this body changed their constitution, which eventually led to the amalgamation of the Congregational Union and Presbyterian Church of England to form the United Reform Church in 1972. Staines Congregational Church chose, on doctrine issues, not to join in this process and became an Independent Congregational Church in 1966.

The church became one of the founder members of the Evangelical Fellowship of Congregational Churches (EFCC) in 1976.

The present church was built in 1956 when its previous site in the centre of Staines was required for redevelopment.

Over the past 60 years the church has had four pastors, Rev Nick Gray was ordained as its present Pastor in August 2010.
